Writing That Connects Through Humor, Honesty, and Bold Truths

I say what others won’t, so we can all move forward.

My writing is bold, heartfelt, and witty.

I don’t shy away from hard topics like parenting, marriage, sex, food, dysfunctional childhoods, existential crises, and more.

My words have found their way into classrooms, inboxes, and publications, reaching readers who say they feel seen, teachers who use my stories to spark discussion, and editors who know I deliver on time.

  • "Eve’s writing is incisive, funny, and deeply sensitive. She brings so much self-awareness and care to her work, and challenges her readers to be just as reflective and intentional in their own lives as she is with her words."

    — Jill Filipovic, Author, The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness, and OK Boomer, Let’s Talk

  • “Eve writes inspired work, and clean copy!”

    — Jessica Hopper, Editor, Pitchfork Review, Author, NightMoves

  • "She has a special knack for rendering life's hardest lessons enjoyable (and accessible) on the page. As an editor, you hope to work with someone like Eve, who nimbly jumps from narrative essay to instructional copy without sacrificing her signature tone and wit—all with a deep appreciation for the craft and process."

    — Maddie Eisenhart, Writer/Editor (Babylist, A Practical Wedding) and Author of Wedding Hacks
