Lindsey Harrington
Lindsey Harrington is a Nova Scotia-based, Newfoundland-born writer of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. She loves exploring societal issues through a personal lens, as she does in her debut, Nobody’s Mother: A Childfree Memoir. She's longlisted for the CBC Nonfiction Prize and has published with the CBC, the Toronto Star, and Blank Spaces Magazine, among others.
Lindsey shares her Dartmouth home with her husband and two enormous dogs—but for the record she is not a dog mom! She owns too many bicycles and books but figures there are worse addictions.
