Catherine DeJager is a Fresh Voice and a Fun Follow
Writer profile #20 in my 30 day reading challenge
I feel like I’ve been skewing a bit in the oldie but goodie direction with my writer profiles lately so I decided to throw in a fresh young voice. While Catherine DeJager is probably the youngest writer I’ve profiled, I’ve known her for far longer than every writer I’ve written about to date. This is because I gave birth to her. I’m not talking about a figurative mentorship sort of thing but a literal conceived, gestated and delivered into the world kind of birth.
I’m leaning into the nepotism here but as best as I can judge through the haze of partiality impossible to completely wipe away, I would highly recommend Catherine’s writing even if she wasn’t my progeny. She writes with a clear commanding voice and has interesting often amusing things to say.
I tend to gravitate to older writers simply because I am one. They get me and I get them. However, I love to sprinkle young writers into the mix too. We separate ourselves out into like-minded boxes way too much in current society. I want to be reading old, young, and in between writers regularly and hope all other readers do the same.
If you want to add a fantastic young writer to your reading list, might I humbly suggest Catherine? I don’t think…
