Stu Nolan

Stu is a queer writer and aspiring documentary producer based in the mountain buttes and desert brine of Salt Lake City and currently living on the unceded Ohlone lands (Berkeley, California). They have a deep love for growing things, going on tangents, and sharing intimate conversations with strangers. Driven by the radical potential of stories, they are interested in how we move through and are moved by narratives across all mediums.


Stu can also be found:

Listening to stories, practicing Capoeira, engaging in community gardens, learning about local foraging, exploring non-neurotypical modes of creating, collecting acorns and small stones, admiring nests and webs, making soups for loved ones, dancing in community, hiking in the hills, writing, and exploring vulnerability.


Their writing is published in:

Scribendi, Arcturus, GirlsRightTheWorld, Leopardskin&Limes, Humans and Nature Press, and in collections published by Torrey House Press and Watershed Review. They are currently drafting their first novel, looking for collaborators to produce a documentary, and dream of one day starting a band.
