I use stories to inspire women to claim their innate power as we collectively change the world. I grew up around a crowd of literary giants from Robert Frost to Allen Ginsberg to James Dickey, tugging at their pantlegs for a little attention. Listening to the cadence and rhythm of poets and novelists reading their latest verses I slowly found my voice. My stories start a central question: What does it mean to have a complicated family legacy? Why do we continue to mythologize powerful men? How do we take our seat at the table? What consequences arise when we speak our truth? These questions, grounded in personal experience, research and investigation translate into my essays and books. But that's what I work on every morning. Every afternoon I'm outside--hiking, walking, biking, gardening, skiing in wild places as big as Patagonia and Penobscot Bay or as small as a neighborhood trail or park. Moving on my own or with friends seeds my writing. Writing on my own or with friends seeds my next quest. My first book, the award-winning memoir, Poetic License, was named 2021 Eric Hoffer Book Award 1st Runner-Up in Memoir; 2021 Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List; 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist in Best Cover Design; 2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist in Autobiography and Memoir. My second nonfiction/memoir will be out in April 2023 from She Writes Press. Subscribe to Gretchen's newsletter to get free book chapter and more at www.gretchencherington.com
