A newsletter about actively engaging with the world as a writer.
I’m a mixed media artist who uses data art, storytelling, and technology to showcase the nature and ancestral knowledge.
Conversations with the greatest writers alive — on craft, courage, and staying heart-centered in a hard world. Plus my own essays from the beautiful, difficult middle of it all. Part interview series, part at-home MFA.
Four verticals edited by Sari Botton: MEMOIR MONDAY, collab w/ Granta, Narratively, The Rumpus, Orion, The Walrus, Electric Lit, LitHub, Oldster; FIRST PERSON SINGULAR original essays; THE LIT LAB interviews + craft; GOODBYE TO ALL THAT, NYC stories.
Essays, criticism, and commentary on food, culture, and media sent out on Monday morning. Subscribers receive every post in full, are invited to join the weekly Salon and Desk Book Club, and much more.
I haven’t burned since 2010. I haven’t attempted suicide since 2016. Today, I’m happily married, earning my master’s degree in creative writing, and a leader in my career. This publication will explore how I manage my bipolar disorder.
