Strayed is currently working on revisions and edits of a new memoir, Wild, which Knopf will publish this year. Her novel, Torch, was published by Hougton Mifflin in 2006 and was selected by The Oregonian as one of the top ten books by Pacific Northwest authors that year. Strayed's essays have twice appeared in the Best American Essays anthologies.
