Hi there. I live in New York City and work as a product manager at Mailchimp.

Reach out anytime: hi@carrietian.com

This site is perpetually a work in progress. As am I, as am I.

To make staying in touch easier, I send friends old and new a letter once a season.
They’re nice! You can get it here:

What I’ve written lately

• The Setlist (a short story)
  A big concert shakes up a sleepy Greek town.
• 20+ years in, you think you know a site
  growing up on the internet, and the site I never talk about
• Make a writing bingo board
  Starting to think about what you want to accomplish with writing next year? I’m trying out a bingo board!
• Notes on Inner Game of Tennis + writing challenges
  the importance of just getting out there
• a recipe for comfort
  childhood bedtime stories
• My 2019 in books
  what I read and how I felt about it

  why it’s impossible to relax

  What does it look like when a good memory pretends to forget?
