An Interview with Melissa Wandrei & Ryan Nichols About Their New Publication: Lived In
Exploring the critical intersection of creativity, community, and career
I was recently approached by Melissa Wandrei, who told me about her new publication, Lived In, and invited me to contribute a piece. As you can imagine, writers get lots of requests like this and I didn’t think much of it until I saw the Lived In website.
I felt an immediate connection with its vibe and was so inspired by the essays and poems of other writers. Further, their ethos was in alignment with my own, from their interest in community-building to their commitment to seeing writers and artists get paid a fair wage.
I’m so proud to be a part of the Lived In family. My essay, The Labor and Birthing of Middle Age, goes live today, alongside a photography project that right now, I’m simply calling Eggs.
I hope you will visit Lived In to read my essay and see my photography — and be sure to check out the other talented writers and artists while you are there.
