Nationally syndicated columnist, Carrie Classon, writes The Postscript, for Andrews McMeel Universal which appears in 200 newspapers nationwide. Carrie champions the idea that it is never too late to reinvent oneself in unexpected and fulfilling ways with her unique brand of honesty, humor, and optimism.

Carrie’s writing addresses the funny and powerful choices that middle-age presents to recreate and reinvent oneself and the necessity of allowing oneself to be ridiculous in the pursuit of a new, more meaningful life. Her memoir, Blue Yarn, tells how Classon took a series of unforeseen catastrophes and used it as the catalyst to begin anew. The Paris News said:

“Classon lays herself bare in a way most of us only dream of doing in personal journals we hope are never read. Blue Yarn is a reminder that we all are adventurers and must follow our paths to wherever they might lead... a joy to read.”

Carrie’s first career was as a professional actor, working in theaters on both coasts. Carrie later received an MBA and worked on infrastructure development projects in Central Asia and West Africa. She received an MFA in creative writing from the University of New Mexico and currently splits her time between St. Paul, Minnesota and San Miguel de Allende, MX with her husband, Peter.
