I’m Katy M. Clark, an academic researcher by day (hey, I do it for the benefits!) and a freelance writer by night (hey, I do it because I like it, but it doesn’t pay the bills!)
I embrace my imperfections on this blog and write about parenting or the 80s for numerous websites and magazines. Sometimes I’m funny and sometimes I’m serious.
Please see below for a finely curated selection of my publications. In other words, check out some of my favorite pieces.
