Katie Tandy

(PLEASE EXCUSE MY DUST, THIS SITE IS BRAND NEW AND DOESN’T SPARKLE JUST YET.)

Katie Tandy is a memoirist, editor, playwright, and digital media entrepreneur. She is a human dedicated to moving the needle towards justice.

Katie is the former cofounding editor of three feminist online publications:

Ravishly (which has gone off the rails if you ask her)

The Establishment (which greeted more than a million readers a month for 3 years)
+
PULP, an online magazine + school centering sex/uality, reproductive rights, and this human coil.

A veteran alt-weekly journalist, Katie’s work has appeared in the SFWeekly, East Bay Express, The Arc, KQED, Dialogue magazine, Feministing, HuffPo, Oakland magazine, Time Out New York magazine and a whole host of literary journals including Quiet Lightning, Writing Without Walls, and The Write Club.

She’s written on everything from architecture and amnesia to fashion, food and falconry; she is particularly invested in the intersection of art and social justice and the human body as a playground of politics.

She recently joined Public Rights Project as a managing editor and launched an in-house publication — THE PUBLIC — on workers’ rights.

Katie is the recipient of the Turkeyland Cove Foundation and Hambidge writing residencies, and a 2021 finalist with Blackacre.

In her spare time she fronts the rock band The Shattucks, devours paperbacks, and cooks a damn fine spaghetti sauce.

She lives and writes in Oakland, California.
