-ABOUT-

Shannon K. Evans

Hi, I’m Shannon.

I write. I mother. I pray in the woods. I sass.

My most recent book is The Mystics Would Like a Word, which I like to think carries the torch of the contemplative Catholic tradition, just with more sarcasm and the occasional curse word. I’m also the author of Feminist Prayers for My Daughter and Rewilding Motherhood.

By day I serve as the culture and spirituality editor at the National Catholic Reporter, but I moonlight as a free range parent, writer, and weird chicken lady on the prairies of central Iowa where my family and I make our home.
