And a Dog

About the Substack

I am an incurable memoir addict. I love reading it, teaching it, and writing it. Here you will find stories from a life, but you will also learn how to write it, and how memoir can be transformative beyond the page.

Clover Stroud: On The Way Life Feels

I write about the moments that make up our extraordinary lives, especially related to creativity, relationships, sobriety, motherhood, grief and joy. I like hearing other's experiences too, so we can connect through a sense of our shared humanity

Nancyโ€™s Darkroom

Personal substack for my thoughts, written and visual. I write on awe, climate/environment, documentary photography, single motherhood/parenting, time and memory, healing, trauma, grief AND (let's end on a good note) Love. How all of these things overlap.
