The writers behind this newsletter.
Publishing advisor, longtime editor, autistic. Nearly two decades helping messages travel for authors, founders & publications. Here: writing, Substack & creative discovery. \ud83d\udcde Start here: Editorial & Audience Review
I’m a GenX parent to young adults, married 25 years, and a grant writer by day. Substack is my side hustle. So is my parenting memoir-in-progress. Currently in my ADHD perimenopausal foggy era, so everything’s totally fine and I’m a goddamn delight.
Chickened out of art school, lived decades as the eldest daughter stereotype, now feeling a bit feral. Writing about growing a wild garden of a life filled with art, friends, & ordinary magic. Alternately sentimental and sassy. There will be cursing.
Big-tech burnout recovered human turned life coach who thinks in spirals and constellations, not straight lines based in the US Pacific Northwest.
I lost half my size—now I’m trying to figure out what to wear. Together let's discover how to express who we are through style. (I'm still figuring this out!) Previously: Health magazine diet editor, Time Inc cookbook editor.
