When she was 19, Vicki Larson somehow convinced her parents that she should spend the summer traveling cross-country with friends to gather stories to write the Great American Novel instead of working and saving money for college. She has yet to write that novel, but is incredibly honored and humbled nonetheless to have had a long, enjoyable career telling other people's stories as a journalist and nonfiction author. Her latest book, "LATitude: How You Can Make a Live Apart Together Relationship Work," was published on July 9, 2024, by Cleis Press. The only how-to book on live apart together relationships addresses important issues for people who are considering living apart and for those already living apart and wondering about the next phase, from becoming empty nesters, to retirement, to aging while living apart. Her book, "Not Too Old for That: How Women are Changing the Story of Aging" (April 4, 2022 by Rowman & Littlefield), was named a Best Book of 2022 by Take the Lead and has earned praise from pro-aging former supermodel Paulina Porizkova. She's the co-author of "The New I Do: Reshaping Marriage for Skeptics, Realists and Rebels" (Seal Press, 2014), which was featured in a Modern Love essay in The New York Times, and was named a Best Book of 2014 by PopSugar. In addition to a being the former award-winning reporter, columnist and editor at a San Francisco Bay Area newspaper, her writing can be found in The New York Times, The Guardian, Aeon, The Washington Post, Newsweek, AARP's The Ethel, The Greater Good Science Center, Marin Magazine, Role Reboot, HuffPost and elsewhere. Her essays have appeared in the anthologies "Nothing But the Truth So Help Me God: 73 Women on Life's Transitions" and "Knowing Pains: Women on Love, Sex and Work in Our 40s," a fundraiser for breast cancer. A native New Yorker, Vicki is a divorced mom of two wonderful young men who happen to be taller than she is now so she's a lot nicer to them, and dogmom to a slightly neurotic rescue, Mia.
