Nationally syndicated columnist Carrie Classon writes The Postscript for Andrews McMeel Universal, which appears in 200 newspapers nationwide. In a world where there is no shortage of dire news, The Postscript aims to provide a small dose of positivity each week.
Her upcoming novel, Loon Point, is an uplifting, feel-good story about found family that captures the humor and empathy of her weekly column, and champions the idea that it is never too late to reinvent oneself in unexpected and fulfilling ways. Loon Point will be released by Lake Union in February 2026.
As a speaker and workshop leader, Carrie presents Searching for a Second Sunset, offering audiences practical pointers on how to nurture lifelong optimism and leapfrog into the most exciting and joyful adventure of our lives.
This is my plug for that crazy idea that gets hidden away, that yen to do something that isn’t logical, that desire to try something new—at an age when everyone will assure you it doesn’t make sense. Do it anyway.
It’s humbling. It’s frightening. It’s worth it.
