C.L. Stambush

Storyteller. Speaker. Seeker.

Hello Journalist, Podcaster and other Media Folks!

C.L. Stambush is a journalist, writer, and editor who has lived, worked and traveled in more than 20 countries. Her work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Cosmopolitan, Far Eastern Economic Review, Travelers’ Tales, as well as national and international newspapers. She is the recipient of awards, scholarships, and residencies from Hedgebrook Writers Colony, RopeWalk Writers Retreat, Split Rock Arts Program, and Indiana University Writers’ Conference, where an early chapter from Untethered was judged Best Creative Nonfiction by Scott Russell Sanders.

She lived in Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia for six years, traveling by foot, train, truck, bus, boat, camel, donkey cart, and motorcycle. After returning to the United States, she was recruited to become a national motorcycle safety instructor where she trained hundreds of people (many of them women) to ride safely during her fourteen-year tenure. As a result, motorcycling became C.L’s metaphor for life and the craft of writing.
