Words, Worlds, and Creative Chaos Lynn is a 6X published author, ghostwriter, podcast producer, artist, and professional idea machine. As the founder of Unicorn Publishing Company, she cranks out up to 8,000 words on a typical day (without using AI)—fueled by curiosity, and an unshakeable belief that every expert has a book inside them. Her creative journey kicked off at age five, pirouetting across the stage at Ms. Ruth's dance studio in Philadelphia. By middle school, she'd discovered the magic of recording—crafting mixtapes in the '80s and videos in the '90s like the analog artist she was destined to become. Today, podcasting and publishing are her favorite playgrounds (though she'll never stop being a word nerd at heart). As host and producer of Publishing for Professionals podcast, Lynn dishes out self-publishing tips, insider advice, and the occasional reality check for non-fiction authors writing their first—or next—book. She works closely with leaders, executives, and consultants to turn their expertise into authority-building books that actually get read. Her collaborative spirit shines in projects like 9 Stumbling Blocks Preventing Creatives From Tapping Into Free Grant Funds (co-authored with Danielle Corbet Desir and Leo York), with the follow-up Grants for Creatives dropping in Spring 2026. When she's not ghostwriting game-changing books or recording podcast episodes, you'll find Lynn on her farm in McMinnville, Oregon, gardening, stargazing, reading tarot, studying Buddhism, painting, or being bossed around by her writing assistant and cat Hemingway. She's also been known to disappear on travel adventures—because inspiration doesn't always come from behind a laptop. Her motto? If it involves creating something from nothing, count her in.
