勞林斯在1920年代擔任記者,她是女性擔任記者的先驅。她曾服務於路易斯維爾信使報 (Louisville Courier-Journal) 羅徹斯特日報 (Rochester Journal) ,以及聯合報刊資料供應社 (United Features Syndicate) 。在1928年時,她為了專心寫小說,於是搬到靠近佛羅里達州蓋恩司威爾 (Gainesville) 的橫溪 (Cross Creek) 。而同名的橫溪 (Cross Creek) 這本書也在1942年出版,內容就是描述勞林斯是如何迷戀佛羅里達鄉村地方。勞林斯與橫溪的親密,一直到她在1953年以57歲年紀去世才停止。

Working as a journalist in the 1920s, Rawlings was a trailblazer for women in that field. She worked for the Louisville Courier-Journal, the Rochester Journal, and the United Features Syndicate. In 1928, she settled at Cross Creek, near Gainesville, Florida, in order to write fiction. Cross Creek, published in 1942, tells of her enchantment with this part of rural Florida. Her association with Cross Creek continued until her death in 1953 at the age of 57.
