I'm
, a queer, disabled and neurodiverse Notion and clarity coach I’ve always been a huge mental health advocate, but even more so after being diagnosed with MDD in 2023. I’m currently writing about my experiences with (re)discovering how to be me as a late diagnosed neurodiverse being living in a world that’s (literally) on fire at suejan.substack.com. I’m also creating exclusive Notion content for neurodiverse beings at buymeacoffee.com/suejannoreiga. My hobbies include: embroidery, reading fantasy fiction, experimenting with Human Design, and giving capitalism the middle finger.

For twenty years she was an east coast editor but returned to Southern California in 2011 for spa days (aka life-saving blood cancer treatments) at City of Hope. Yes, there’s a memoir. When not supporting contributors to Inlandia Institute’s journal as managing editor, Erin shares musings about how to embrace rejection at 100 Rejections Club. Her personal Substack will include living with disabilities, coparenting when the shared reality Venn diagram is a sliver, discovering the ace community, and more. Erin loves her child unconditionally and forever humbly serves Rexi the cat queen. (whatever pronouns) started writing stories before learning how to write. They believe stories - the stories we tell, the stories we’re told, secret stories and legends shared by the fire - they shape our world, our communities and ourselves. Stories are what makes us human. Nos (for short) drinks mate, brews beer, talks too much and tells stories like it’s going out of style, using any form that strikes their fancy: essays, poetry, books, websites, photography, blogs, journals, commonplace notebooks. These days they also write Joy Every Week - weekly quests to find joy in everyday things, because joy is not only possible, but necessary. (Amanda Rose Fadely) (she/her) had an affinity for creative writing until her third-grade teacher forced her to give writing tutoring to the boy who wanted to kiss her. So, she became a rocket scientist instead. She created Read the Instructions to share the journey as she rediscovers her love of writing and drafts a memoir; publishing on Substack as Rose G. She writes deeply personal stories from her past alongside reflections of the space industry, feminism, ADHD, diversity, parenting, and any other shiny topics that she gets distracted by along the way. (they/them) is a social justice activist and on-again off-again wannabe writer. They are multiply disabled, neuroqueer (autistic, agender, queer), doing their best to stay engaged with the world. Their writing at a Shark’s Garden focuses predominantly on anti-ableism, especially in the Mad and neurodivergent arena. They are thrilled to contribute to the success of SmallStack because the best organizing happens at the grass-roots level where inclusive community can grow, and what’s more grass-roots than SmallStack? is a creative writer who daylights as a marketing consultant. She has had many jobs and identities over the years — awkward middle schooler, pretentious theater geek, aspiring academic, ethically conflicted marketing professional, and other stuff along the way. First and foremost, however, she considers herself a writer. She has loved creative writing since age eight, yet spent much of her adult life writing only for her job or not at all. She started Creative Letters to help her get back in touch with the joy of creating for its own sake. She also publishes Easeful Marketing, a marketing Substack for people who hate marketing. has been a wordsmith since the second grade. He comes from a long line of storytellers and embellishers. He didn’t set out to be a transgender activist, but creating space for trans and queer folks to find our community has brought him a special kind of transjoy he wouldn’t give up for anything. Robin’s writing connects the human aspects of parenting, growing food in his backyard, traveling, and navigating his gender transition in midlife. He’s kind of a mess, but it’s all a good laugh to be had with friends.
