Vivian Songe
- Journalist, Author, Publisher & Writing Mentor
I write for the creative, the passionate, the beautifully distracted wanderers of this world.
​
I’ve spent 25 years as a journalist, author, editor, and writing mentor.
My articles have been featured in 30+ magazines.
My feet have touched ground in 61 countries (and counting).
My thoughts have danced in many worlds.
I write nonfiction and fiction—on everything from wild creativity, to the world's first author (she was a woman!), to destination thrillers from faraway places, to those strange invisible moments when everything changes.
​
I treasure a combination of humor, depth, wonder, and rebellion.
I believe too many tabs open is a creative superpower, not a flaw.
​
When I don't write, travel, laugh with my kids, or panic over something minor, I dance.
​
And yes, I believe in magic. Do you?

"Vivian Was My Favorite Writer as an Editor-in-Chief"
She is an exceptionally gifted writer and journalist with great ideas and positive energy. She has deep insight into the human psyche and always over-delivers. I even chose her to be my substitute as an Editor-In-Chief. I can't recommend her enough!
