Linden is a freelance writer, editor and creative storyteller.
Since she was young, Linden has been fascinated by the written word — often choosing to curl up with a Judy Blume novel or an issue of Marie Claire before glancing at homework. She lost herself in the worlds created by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. She studied Diana Vreeland’s fascinating career, and she dreamed about the library 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.
Another passion of Linden’s is travel. She enjoys criss-crossing the globe for personal and professional pursuits (her study abroad summer in London and honeymoon in Austria and Switzerland are among her favorite experiences). Linden spent more than a decade living in Dallas, TX and Denver, CO before relocating to Europe with her husband, Brent. Currently, they split their time between the U.S. and Croatia.
In addition to freelance work, Linden is brainstorming ideas for her first book, a lifelong goal.
