Memoirist, novelist and essayist Carolyn Dawn Flynn is the author of Boundless, a becoming-of-age memoir that will be published in February 2024. The memoir was longlisted for the 2021 Mslexia International Memoir Prize and the 2022 First Pages Prize. She is a single mother of Ukrainian-Irish-American twins and was the longtime editor of a life-giving magazine called Sage. In her TEDx Women talk, “Tell a Better Story, Live a Better Life,†she has inspired countless others to live their sacred yes—even in a world that may split open, as the writer Muriel Rukeyser once famously said, if one woman spoke the truth. Her novel Searching for Persephone, shortlisted for the Elixir Press First Novel Prize, is on submission. Her work has been published in Fourth Genre, Under the Gum Tree, Arts and Letters, The Colorado Sun, The Tampa Review, The Whitefish Review (Montana Prize for Fiction), Albuquerque Journal, Sage Magazine, Albuquerque the Magazine and Wilde Frauen.
