About Carrie Classon
"It is never too late to reinvent oneself in unexpected and fulfilling ways."
Bio:
Carrie Classon is a performer and nationally syndicated columnist with Andrews McMeel Universal. She was born in Minnesota and had a 14-year career in the theater, performing in dozens of shows from Oregon to Maine. After founding and running a professional Equity theater for seven years, she got her MBA and worked in international business, crafting feasibility studies and business plans for projects from Central Asia to West Africa. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of New Mexico and has written a memoir, several plays, and more than 600 columns.
In her weekly column, “The Postscript,” Carrie writes about the transformative power of optimism and how to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. She champions the idea that it is never too late to reinvent our lives in unexpected and fulfilling ways. She performs a live show, “I'm Saving It for the Postscript,” featuring material from her writing—and lots of sequins.
Carrie and her husband, Peter, and former street cat, Felix, split their time between St. Paul, Minnesota, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. “Loon Point” is her debut novel.
"To borrow from a familiar adage, Carrie Classon is a breath of fresh air. Her journalism is down to earth and the experiences about which she writes leaves the reader with a comforting sense of empathy. If The Postscript were a cake, Carrie’s obvious passion for life would be the frosting."
