Writer & endurance athlete. Fiction has been published in The Southampton Review, The Oddville Press, and pioneertown. Other writing and criticism has been published by NPR, The Economist, Pitchfork, The Awl, The San Francisco Chronicle and others. I was part of the founding team at the blog The Hairpin. More recently, I've worked as an advertising creative at Peloton, and at several ad agencies in New York and Nova Scotia. Currently, newslettering is one of my jobs! Visit the link below to read my work, and to subscribe to the newsletter with a free or paid subscription.
Why am I here? I write a newsletter about the writing and running life at morningperson.substack.com. My newsletter also features original illustrations and photography. The newsletter often touches on sobriety, a lifestyle choice that has fueled my decisions and ambitions for the past seven years now. To me, "morning person" needn't be taken literally but is more of a state of mind: a commitment to carving out time for the things you love—or at least one of those things, and discovering ways to make more space for those things. For me, sobriety meant freedom and clarity to get back to the dreams and goals I had for myself as a kid and teenager. But it's not a linear journey or a smooth ride, and I try to be as real about the process as possible. My love of music and music discovery is also a big part of the newsletter (I am an ex-music critic after all!) Ko-fi is for those whose want to support my writing, but whose budgets might not allow for (yet another?!) newsletter subscription. Donate as little as $2 as a one-time or monthly tip!
