Kathryn M. Bowman Johnson writes from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, where her work centers on caregiving, chronic pain, and the ways attention can rebuild a life. Her essays appear at Brevity Blog and Dorothy Parker’s Ashes; she was interviewed in InFlow Magazine (Issue 15), has work forthcoming in Kaleidoscope (Jan. 2026), and received Honorable Mention in the Writer’s Digest 94th Annual Writing Competition. She publishes the weekly Substack newsletter Booked on a Feeling, and her current project—Invisible, Until I’m Not—is a voice-forward memoir-in-essays tracing the arc from self-erasure to hard-won visibility. Kathryn is a member of the Virginia Writers Club and active in regional writing communities.
