About Me

Hi there. I’m Hailey Myers (she/her). I write about animal welfare, wildlife protection, ecological issues, and books. I live in a cabin near Mount Hood, in the heart of the PNW’s historic “Timber Wars.”

I’m a writer with roughly a decade of nonprofit work experience across communications, campaigns, publicity, fundraising, and programming. My publishing experience includes volunteer work at Electric Literature’s literary magazine, “Recommended Reading.” I have done publicity work for Driftwood Press. If you are an author whose work deals with animal rights or ecological themes, please reach out via the contact me form below to chat about possible interviews or book reviews.

Most recently, I ran communications and campaigns for an animal protection nonprofit. My background in animal welfare also includes outreach and writing for a farmed animal sanctuary. Before that, I worked in youth literacy. I still get excited about a good kids book! I’ve been a head preschool teacher, provided direct services to education and social service nonprofits, and interned as a summer school teacher at a homeless shelter. In my free time, I enjoy reading (literary fiction and short stories from literary magazines) and creative writing.

Finally, to answer the question you’re likely still wondering: Yes. The cats talk back. Especially my Siamese rescue cat, Sequoia, who uses speech buttons to communicate (in addition to yodeling).
