This is where I give you all my secrets. KAFKA'S BABY is an "existential" "parenting" newsletter, but what does that really mean. A lot of the time, it means that I create a record of the little things that happen to me and to my kids just as things change forever, which they are always doing. I consider this journalism. I'm not gunning for a moral here, but if you read an essay and think, ahhh, then the writing has done its job. Everything I write is very intentional, except the one sentence you think I should have cut for the piece to read a bit cleaner.

I have written for New York Magazine, Literary Hub, The New Republic, The New York Times, ELLE, McSweeney's, Los Angeles Review of Books, Dirt, Mother Tongue, and on, and have a grad degree in this stuff, the point of which is simply: trust.

Thank you for being here! Let’s freak out together <3
