Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Autistic editor & publishing advisor. I find my way through the world in language, and make rooms for writers moving between voice, Substack publishing and creative discovery.
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.
Gen X writer on a creative journey back to herself. Sometimes sentimental. Sometimes sassy. Always in search of the wild, wondrous, whimsical, and wyrd. There will be cursing. There will never be AI.
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.
