Bio

Originally from Salem, Oregon, Micaela Edelson studied and worked in the environmental field for eight years before leaving to pursue writing. Micaela primarily writes creative nonfiction, focusing on environmentalism, political-philosophy, and travel. Themes that Micaela emphasizes include the interconnectedness of humans and non-humans, the dual human-planet benefit of environmental reciprocity, and the limitations of thinking in zero-sum binaries (i.e. economy vs. environment, right vs. wrong, Left vs. Right). Micaela is an avid traveler who enjoys hiking, gardening, reading, and spending time with animals.
