Artist Statement
I created Looseleaf Handcrafted Stories because there's something magical about a one-of-a-kind document that comes from the writer's hands to yours.
I love writing - and receiving - letters. I love that someone - perhaps a friend halfway around the world, took the time to write those lines, fold the paper, and address the envelope to me.
In the world of mainstream, "mass market" publishing, writers have become celebrities; there's a divide between the author and the reader. I hope to bring some sense of intimacy and of community back to story writing.

Kristen has loved writing stories since kindergarten, and is now seeking an agent for her first novel. Her work has appeared in the periodicals Seven Days and Stage Directions, as well as online at the Broad Street Review and hostelz.com.
Kristen earned a degree in Character Studies (a self-designed major) at Cornell University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with her thesis: a novella entitled The Kelpie. She has trained with authors Helena Viramontes, Maureen McCoy, and Robert Morgan.
Kristen has worked and traveled extensively in Ireland, Italy, Maine, and Philadelphia, and now lives in Vermont.
Kristen has recently completed Rosemary Gladstar's Apprentice Program in herbalism. In her spare time, Kristen continues her studies in herbalism, storytelling, and media culture. She practices yoga and contact juggling, and is trying to develop a green thumb.
Kristen also develops and maintains the websites VaguelyBohemian.com and TalkToStrangers.org. You can find posts about sustainability, travel, herbalism, health, and other good things at Ramblings. Occasionally, when she stops telling stories for long enough to write about storytelling, she also posts at Storytraining. Of course, you can learn all about Kristen's other writing projects at KristenEaton.com.
