Lindsay Muscato is a writer and editor with a passion for improving public education, reforming America’s food systems and promoting the arts. She really, really wants to make the world a better place, like her mama taught her. Originally from Buffalo, New York, she has written for numerous magazines and web sites in Chicago and nationally, and she holds a degree in journalism from Northwestern University. She also has nine years of experience at nonprofit organizations and is certified to teach grades 6-12.
Fancy things about her: She was selected to be a Leadership Resident at the Harpswell Foundation in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She has performed original writing about town, most notably with the Around the Coyote Arts Festival and the 2nd Story Festival. She has also appeared onstage at: The Green Mill (with Mortified Chicago), The Chicago Humanities Festival’s marathon reading of On the Road, The Annoyance theater and a bunch of bars that she’d rather not talk about. She is the recipient of a 2008 CAAP grant from the City of Chicago for the creation of an original play.
She has kept a web site since 1996, when she and her friend Bethany created pages on Geocities.
