I’m Kristina T. Saccone, a writer, creative, and maker. At heart, I’m a storyteller with a particular love for the craft of speculative fiction, creative nonfiction, and the flash form. I edit One Wild Ride, a limited-run online literary journal with stories about caring for our aging parents and those who raised us.
I spent nearly a decade in public broadcasting at the PBS NewsHour, Colorado Public Radio, and Aspen Public Radio. Since then, I have been writing and communicating for nonprofit organizations. I currently lead the digital content team at The Aspen Institute.

As one of the 1/4 of adults in their 40’s or 50’s caring for an aging parent, I have found strength and hope in stories about the ups and downs of caretaking. I started a limited-run online journal for reprints on the topic, called One Wild Ride. Learn more about the project and all the latest here — or sign up for e-mail updates here.
Flash Roundup
Currently on hiatus: A free newsletter featuring the latest flash fiction and creative nonfiction from across the web, and building community among flash fiction & creative nonfiction readers, writers, and publications.
