Who Am I?
I’m a Boston-based writer, editor, and a new mom to Andy. I think Sriracha and garlic make everything tastier. I love Steely Dan and “Murder, She Wrote.” My son’s favorite foods include store-bought pureed mac-n-cheese and my iPhone. I will never use “heart” as a verb.
I’m the Boston editor for New York Magazine‘s food site, Grub Street. I also write the 24-Hour Workday, a parenting and family-life blog on Boston.com. Before that, I edited The Boston Globe‘s magazine for women, Lola (RIP). My writing has appeared in The Boston Globe Magazine, The Boston Globe, Boston, The Washington Post, Washingtonian, NPR, Slate, Body + Soul (now Whole Living), The Boston Phoenix, The New York Observer, and more.
As a copywriter, my clients have included Levi’s, Gilt City/Gilt Groupe, BizBash, and Children’s Hospital.
Oh, and if the male anatomy is puzzling to you, by all means purchase the book that I co-authored: Size Matters. Oprah liked it, so you should too!

I read your article, “Why I quite zoloft to get pregnant”. I’ve been on 450 mg of Wellbutrin but my pharmacologist wants me to go down to 300 mg and add Zoloft. I am 42 yrs old and considering pregnancy this next year or two. Did your doctor tell you how long after stopping zoloft that it would be out of your system?
I just read your 24 hour work day blog on Boston.com and was seriously sitting in my office laughing like an idiot. Thank you for your fabulous contribution. I think you need a sitcom. Looking forward to reading your blog in the future. Keep writing!
You’re a blast, Kara! Your rendering of a panic attack in the current NYT is magically delicious. I wanted to send you my own account of such a thing that I wrote for Esquire years ago. If you send me your email address, I’ll send you a pdf of the story. Mine is also “funny,” and our writing voices are similar. You can reach me at ramsey.flynn@gmail.com ….
