Michelle Rae Anderson is a writer, digital strategist and community builder with 20 years of media development experience. She is fascinated with the way people and technologies interact in business and in pleasure. Her art form is sculpting with media—words, images, sounds—to create spaces in stories in which readers can immerse themselves in.  When not working on her ambitious genre-bending storytelling experiment The Miracle in July (http://themiracleinjuly.com/story), Michelle is leading the guerrilla publishing agency I Heart Media. She also bakes one hell of a pie. My influences: Anaïs Nin, Sophie Calle, Eric Kraft, Paul Auster, Flannery O'Connor
