606<p>Since 2011, we have published personal writing about grief, healing, courage, family, relationships, and the full spectrum of being human. Our contributors are not celebrities. They are people who have lived something and found the words for it.</p>
607<p><em>If you have ever read a sentence and thought &#8220;that&#8217;s exactly it&#8221; — this is where those sentences live.</em></p>

616<p>The Manifest Station was founded in 2011 by Jennifer Pastiloff as a place where people could come to have hard conversations about being human. What began as one writer&#8217;s vision has grown into a literary community. Today the site is curated and edited by Angela M Giles, who has carried that founding spirit forward.</p>
