Correction from Rosecrans Baldwin
editHi. I'm the subject of this page. I'm not sure who wrote it, but I noticed a couple things to be corrected. Can someone help me with that?
- I don't live in Chapel Hill, NC. I live in Los Angeles, CA. - I don't currently teach in the writing program at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. (I used to teach there.) - In the external links, the link for my website points to a Tumblr which I don't use, rather than my website: rosecransbaldwin.com.
Thank you for your help. If anyone's ever interested in updating the page more fully (I gather I'm not the right person to do it, yeah?), here's a lot more info:

Request for edits
editHi. I'm the subject of this article. Thanks to who ever has put this up. Is it possible to make some edits? Here are some suggestions to improve it:
- The opening lists me as a novelist and essayist. I am also a screenwriter. I co-wrote (with my writing partner and wife Rachel Knowles) the documentary "Stone Locals," released by Patagonia Films in August 2020. You can see it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj7ZCYMgSvw. Our writing credit is at 1:10:34.
- One of my books is not listed in the "books" section. My novel "The Last Kid Left" was published in 2017 by MCD Books/Farrar Straus and Giroux (known as MCD x FSG). It was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of the Year. The Los Angeles Review of Books wrote, "A coming-of-age tale so decisively of our time that it’s almost surprising that it doesn’t rely on a dystopian veneer to carry its themes. It is a wonder and a pleasure to see a work of fiction that so honestly, accurately, and effortlessly belongs to the here and now in ways that neither trivialize its horrors nor play them to their apocalyptic hilt." Here are links for citation:

- In the "Other Work" section, a number of publications are listed where I've published work. All are correct, however they're all 10+ or 15+ years old. More recently, I've been a regular contributor for GQ Magazine. Some citations:
