Hi! I'm Natalie. I'm so glad you're here.

 

I'm a Seattle-based writer, award-winning instructor, and mother of two. My personal essays and creative nonfiction have appeared in The New York Times, HuffPost, Insider, Brevity, Scary Mommy, SheKnows, Jenny Magazine, Motherwell, The Manifest-Station, ParentMap, Today's Parent, The Keepthings, Literary Mama, and Ruminate Magazine, among others. My essay, "Subtle Shifts" was featured in the Anthology, The Pandemic Midlife Crisis: GenX Women on the Brink (available below). My HuffPost essay was twice included in Memoir Monday, and I've been interviewed by National Geographic, CrossCut, and Care.com.

 

I teach personal essay classes at the University of Washington, Hugo House, and Writing Workshops, and offer workshops and webinars throughout the year. Please see the classes & events page for upcoming opportunities. I'd love if you could join us!

 

In addition to writing for magazines, literary journals, and lifestyle blogs, I'm at work on a book about midlife parenting and long-held grief. I love coffee and being outside with my two daughters, husband, and rescue dog, Ginger.

​

I look forward to being connected!
