Since she was young, Linden has been fascinated by the written word — often choosing to curl up with a Judy Blume novel or a new issue of Marie Claire before glancing at homework. She lost herself in the captivating worlds created by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. She studied Diana Vreeland’s storied career, and she dreamed about having a library like Belle’s in “Beauty and the Beast.”

Linden received her degree in magazine journalism from the University of Missouri in 2010. Her career has taken her from internships at Steamboat Magazine and Mpls.St.Paul Magazine to editor positions at Southlake Style and PaperCity. She has interviewed Martha Stewart, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and designer Jenny Packham, among many others.

In addition to magazines, Linden has written brand copy for international design-led companies including Hunter Douglas Window Fashions and Page architecture firm. She’s lived in Texas, Colorado, and Europe, crediting her continued love for storytelling to her experiences traveling the globe. When she isn’t writing, you can probably find her chasing after her young son, snuggling with her two cats, or boarding a flight that’s heading somewhere new.
