Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I'm a happily aging kid raised in the 1960s. I write memoir, work as a graphic designer, perform in story slams. Wham! Bam! Thank You! Slam! and The Next Write Thing. And I'll make YOUR stack look great!
Intermittent revolutionary. Parkinson’s debutant. Cynical idealist. Subscribe if you’re interested in smoky eye rolling, disability candor, tactics for introverts and the quest to bring rebellion into your routine.
Writer. Realist. Mom. Human. Fascinated by the gap between ideation and implementation, I write to figure things out. Right now, I'm working on joy.
Too poor to marry, I chainsmoked philosophy and took lovers instead. No time for kids while birthing feminism with a pen and a glare. Could out-drink and out-think her existential fuck buddies, including Sartre and Nelson Algren. Nickname: Beaver
