About
My name is Natasha Nunn. I'm a writer living on an acreage outside of Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada. By day I'm an academic librarian and a mother of three boys. In the early mornings — before any of that starts — I write.
My essays and short stories have been published in the Globe and Mail, Pink Disco Magazine and the Defiant Moments anthology (2025). In 2017 I won the New Media Writing Prize for my interactive story Mary Rose.
I write for readers like me who have awoken to themselves on this planet full of sadness and awe and are struggling to discover and create themselves. I celebrate the courage it takes to keep going when you're not fully healed and never will be.

The Book
Seven Parties is a memoir structured around seven pivotal parties spanning 1980 to 2013 — each one a waypoint in a life that refused to resolve into something tidy.
Alternating between those party chapters and present-day interludes, the book examines how the same forces that wound us can also heal us.
This is not a healing narrative. It's a book about the courage to continue living without being fully healed. It is about beautiful delusions, circling the truth of who you are, and choosing, again and again, to stay in the experiment.
