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 The Postscript Live, offering audiences practical pointers on how to nurture lifelong optimism and leapfrog into the most exciting and joyful adventure of our lives.
