Meet the Mudditors

"Just like to say that one of the reasons I choose to send things to MuddyUm among others, is all the great support and suggestions from editors like you. It teaches me a lot about my craft."

Rachael loves living on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota, breathing in the beauty, and writing humor that causes readers to laugh until they can't breathe. Cycling, sustainable living, yoga, hiking, and phone-photography are a handful of her hobbies. Rachael is a no-makeup, lots-of-nonsense kind of human. She's passionate about the health of the planet and the next generation of all living things - except jerks. They can go.

Toni Crowe

Toni Crowe is a skilled storyteller who escaped corporate America to pursue her dream of writing whatever she wanted, whenever she chose. She is an award-winning multi-book author. Being an introverted degreed engineer who forced herself to become an executive extrovert gives Toni a unique variegated world-view. Toni takes real-life lessons and presents them in a way readers will not forget. Her dark humor shines like flickering candlelight in the night. Humor is one of her most persuasive tools.

Holly J. See

AKA editor fairy. Still somewhat surprised to be a writer and humor editor after 40+ years as a serious worker bee. Former editor at a national healthcare consulting firm. Someone has to be least funny.

  • Turn-ons: husbands who cook, new vocabulary words

  • Turn-offs: lying, spiders, pickles, grunge

  • Guilty pleasures: chocolate edibles & a prosecco mule

I enjoy reading, writing song parodies, interacting with my poodle, and dancing around the house to “Sing” — Pentatonix & “Rock ’N Roll Soul” — Grand Funk

Anu Anniah

Anu Anniah lives in Bangalore, India. Laughing is her favorite hobby. It takes up most of her day.
After a billion years in corporate, she suddenly chucked it all to spend time with her teen. The jury is out on whether the teen actually wanted this change. Meanwhile, Anu discovered she had much to say about lots of things. Since no one listened, she began to write. She published a book while no one was looking. No one is looking even now.

Stephanie Wilson

Stephanie Wilson was having a fine life in Northern Virginia--coaching, hiking, drawing, waving goodbye to her kids as they moved off into the world—but then she got abducted by aliens. Now she lives in some place called MuddyUm, where she writes, laughs, edits, and deals with the extraterrestrials listed above. It’s fun. It's on a boat of some sort. She misses Earth.

Michelle A. Cmarik

Michelle is an elementary school administrator by day, a writer at night, and a mother of two all the rest of the time. Her niche genre is true crime parenting/educator nonfiction humor.

Rosalie Berg

Rosalie Berg decided to start writing because a Barnes & Noble cashier told her she had a writer's name. This occurred roughly two decades ago--well before she was married and mothered. Rosalie Berg is also a master procrastinator, but here we are. When not chasing around her two boys and wily water dog, she can be found online shopping, er writing, at local coffee shops.

Kendra is a stay-at-home mom who has infiltrated the MuddyUm website and has declared herself a mudditor. There is no other explanation for why she’s here among this esteemed group of people.
