Catherine Lanser is a writer from Madison, Wis. who grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan. She ate so much salmon as a child, if you cut into her you would find flaky flesh that you could easily lift away with a salad fork.
She has lived in the Midwest her whole life and writes blogs, essays and narrative nonfiction about her life and growing up as the baby of a family of nine children. Catherine is looking for a home for her first full-length memoir about how she found her place in her family, told through the lens of her brain tumor and her father’s stroke.
She reads a lot of memoirs and writes about the brain, migraines, being sick, and other things. If you want to learn more about why she writes about illness this link will take you to an article Catherine wrote on that topic.

A study looks at cognitive decline during #migraine and later in long-time sufferers. The good news is that migraine didn’t seem to cause long-term cognitive issues.

I received a rejection yesterday on a piece I sent out months ago. In a second I turned into Eeyore.
Then I realized how many others were still being considered and I suddenly was Lisa Simpson.
