Author Archives: Craig Idlebrook

A freelance writer and editor, Craig Idlebrook has written for more than 30 publications, including Mothering, Mother Earth News, and Funny Times. His essay “The Voice From Beyond” can be found in the upcoming anthology, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving and Recovery. Currently, he’s a contracted correspondent with the New York Times, which is a nice way of saying he’s the reporter of last resort. A father who buys his daughter dresses when he’s feeling blue, Idlebrook splits time between Ellsworth and the Boston area.
