​
About the Writers
Lydia Kiesling is the editor of The Millions. Her essays and criticism have appeared at The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, Slate, and The New Yorker online, among other places. She was recognized in Best American Essays 2016.
Laura Frost is a recovering academic (Yale/The New School) who writes about sex, gender, literature, and film. Her work has been read/seen/heard in the LA Times, Bookforum, Quartz, Los Angeles Review of Books, Publishers Weekly, American Prospect, the Village Voice, the Discovery Channel, Chicago Public Radio, BBC's "The World," The New York Public Library, among other venues.
Anna Pulley is the author of the Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (with Cats!). Her work has appeared in New York magazine and Mother Jones, on BuzzFeed, AlterNet, The Toast, and Salon, and in zines tastefully peppered with Ani DiFranco lyrics. She’s been a repeat guest on Dan Savage’s podcast, Savage Love, and is a sex and relationship columnist for the Chicago Tribune and AfterEllen. Let her send you overly personal emails at tinyletter.com/annapulley
Mallory Ortberg is the cofounder of The Toast and the author of Texts From Jane Eyre. She currently writes for the Dear Prudence column at Slate.
Manjula Martin is the editor of the anthology Scratch: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living.

Esmé Weijun Wang is the author of THE BORDER OF PARADISE: A NOVEL, named one of NPR's Best Books of 2016, and is the recipient of the 2016 Graywolf Nonfiction Prize for her forthcoming essay collection, THE COLLECTED SCHIZOPHRENIAS. Born in the Midwest to Taiwanese parents, Esmélives in San Francisco.
Charlotte Shane is an essayist, memoirist, and co-founder of TigerBee Press. The Guardian likened her written work to Charles Dickens, and Vice called her book Prostitute Laundry "addictive [and] intimate." Just like an opium den.
