Vanessa Veselka
I write novels, stories, and essays. I hold out hope we can be better humans.


The Rust Belt, Lake Erie, and New England – Rest areas, Tall Ships, College towns, Labor Strikes, and Dying at Sea…

The Nebraska Territory – Montana, Wyoming, and The Dakotas…

Van-touring the Internet…or weather, history, and bad ideas.

First Up Against the Wall or exactly how I feel about real estate & private equity moguls who get rich off Medicaid money…

Book release zoom parties, the NBA, and a lost song…

Book Launch, strange anxiety, great fortune and wanting…

The Real Cover…

The Great Offshore Grounds – and organizing unions
