Whitney Durmick -- startup whisperer by day, genre-bending existentialist writer by night -- talks to me about her formerly itinerant existence, and how she has confounded the expectations of the traditional publishing industry by striking out on her own. Her first book, HALF WILD: A prayer for a generation of roaming malcontents, came out in June 2022. Having once-upon-a-time dreamt of becoming an investigative reporter (inspired in part by her ongoing love of trench coats), Whitney investigated the options of the self-published writer, plumbed the heights of social networking (in-person as well as digital), and now shares her experiences and the excitement of a new book (which you can order here).
