Lindsay Crandall
Lindsay is a writer and editor who teaches part time at the University of South Alabama, proofreads for the literary magazine Relief, and blogs at A Condition of the Heart. Her resume is a veritable hodgepodge of vocations, including newspaper editor, high school teacher, cocktail waitress, grant writer, editor of a wedding magazine, and involuntary homemaker.
Lindsay and her husband Adam live in Mobile, Alabama, by way of Rochester, New York, and will always be upstate New Yorkers at heart. Together, they try to balance their small urban life with a simple, slow approach to living. In May, they became parents to a baby girl, Lily.
