Charlotte Hamrick and Jamy Bond are two writers that decided to launch SugarSugarSalt after seeing so many brilliant pieces of creative nonfiction (CNF) go unnoticed or unread, because of the volatile and fast moving nature of online publishing. Our mission is to spotlight amazing CNF pieces that readers may have missed the first time around, as well as to eventually publish new work from the genre’s best writers, both established and emerging.
Writing CNF is an excavation of the heart and mind. It is not afraid to dig deep until it finds truth that resonates. We believe this discovery is possible in all essay forms: traditional, hybrid, unconventional.
We aim to lift writers up, especially underrepresented voices, and bring attention to their work. As a reader, we hope you’ll discover the unlimited power CNF has to dig through the sugar and get to the salt.
