Writer by instinct, librarian by training, communications professional by trade.
These days I’m the Communications Manager for Library Futures.
Prior to that I worked in public libraries for fifteen years. My writing and reporting have appeared in Truthout, The Iowa Review, The New York Times, and other websites, defunct print publications, newspapers, and zines. I occasionally teach classes on writing and research. I have a resume if you like that sort of thing.
Follow me on Bluesky (or Mastodon) for occasional hot takes; subscribe to my blog for infrequent longer ones; and follow my sporadic journeys in sewing on Instagram or Threadloop.
My older thinking on libraries and some of my talks live on my old blog. My home on the internet since 1999 is and always will be newrambler.net.
