  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions with Barbara Mahany

    How kind was life to slide Barbara Mahany into my heart? We met at a book signing for a famed Tribune food columnist years ago. We exchanged email addresses and questions. She was patient and encouraging with me. She taught me to ‘thumb slam’ with my writing (but more on that later). She penned a book…

    Imagine surfing in El Salvador Kayaking in Big Sky, Montana Strolling atop the Burj Khalifa in Dubai Wandering the markets of Hong Kong Traversing a glacier in Iceland Practicing yoga in Mexico Now imagine that you’re paid to do this. More specifically, paid to write about it. Such is the life of travel writer and…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions with Lisa Jakub

    You already know Lisa Jakub and that’s okay. You know her from her work in Mrs. Doubtfire or Independence Day or maybe even George Lucas in Love, that viral video before ‘viral’ was actually a thing. She’s a face you grew up with and there’s probably a part of you that recalls a sweet childhood or…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions With Sari Wilson

    When I first heard of the novel Girl Through Glass, I remembered the sheen of my dance tights. I recalled the tight bun coiled on top of my head, the sweat dripping down my spine, and the dinners scarfed in the car as my mother shuffled me from one class to the next. “A young girl’s…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions with Bethany Neal

    When I was 17 I was reallllly into headbands, Green Day CDs, and Doc Martens. Oh and I regularly took style cues from Tracy Flick. Ah memories! But here’s what sticks from that time: the power of a crush, the tight bond of friendships, and the deep, frustrating awkwardness of having zero self-confidence. In short?…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions with Anna Lane

    Crack your knuckles and do some light stretching because the dynamic, articulate, fun, and spirited woman you’re about to meet will have you laughing so hard that you’ll mildly choke on that glass of wine paired with Oreos (no judgment; it’s nice to eat allllll the treats once kids go to bed). Ladies and gentlemen,…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions With Kayt Sukel

    I am gobsmacked by Kayt Sukel. It’s not often that you come across someone who is dynamic in all forms: brilliant, curious, stunningly pretty, wickedly funny, easy conversationalist, and all-around cool girl. I imagine she kills it at just about every dinner party. Kayt is the author of Dirty Minds: This is Your Brain on…

  • Convos With Writers: 11 Questions with Jen A. Miller

    Running is the biggest pain in the ass and the most incredible endorphin rush. Kind of like writing. I often thought running and writing sweetly held hands because both require daily, consistent devotion to translate into long distance/page count goals. Today’s feature, Jen A. Miller, is so effortlessly cool that I want to dash outside…
