Memoirist, novelist, journalist and essayist Carolyn Dawn Flynn is the author of the memoir Boundless and seven books of transformational nonfiction; longtime editor of Sage magazine; and a trauma-informed book coach. Boundless was longlisted for the 2021 Mslexia International Memoir Prize and the 2022 First Pages Prize. Her work has been published in Fourth Genre, Under the Gum Tree, Arts and Letters, Hunger Mountain, The Colorado Sun, The Tampa Review, The Whitefish Review (Montana Prize for Fiction), Albuquerque Journal, Sage Magazine, Albuquerque the Magazine and Wilde Frauen.

In her TEDx Women talk, "Tell a Better Story, Live a Better Life," she has inspired countless others to live their sacred yes—even in a world that may split open, as the writer Muriel Rukeyser once famously said, if one woman spoke the truth. She is owner of The Story Catalyst, which has offered book coaching, developmental editing and publishing consulting for many author clients for more than 10 years. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she is a hiker and a pilgrim and a desert dweller who is an appreciator of horizons. Find out more at www.carolynflynn.com.
