Nonlinear Love is a project that shares and interrogates love stories that don’t follow the traditional “linear” course in a non-judgmental format. We seek to counter the prescriptive “self-help” information on social media. We listen to and share unconventional love stories: hot romances, bad breakups, divorces, and more. Think of NYT’s “Tiny Love Stories” meets advice column meets podcast.

NLL is co-founded by a New York City divorce lawyer (Alan Feigenbaum, or Al) and relationships writer and media entrepreneur (Ariella Steinhorn, or Ari).

We are looking to publish first-person essays about “nonlinear love” on our site–divorces and remarriages; dating horrors or delights; lovers who cropped back up years later; or even an unexpected thing you learned from your partner within a traditional marriage or relationship structure.

800-1,000 words; we will pay $150 per essay. Please submit to ariella@superposition-stories.com. The deadline to submit is November 15, 2024.

The Art of the Interview

Join journalists Matt Potter (BBC, Washington Post, Independent) and Caitlin Kelly (New York Times, Financial Times) on Sunday November 10th for a two-hour transatlantic online course on Interviewing – from getting the best from your interviewee, to flipping tough subjects, to psychology, to some less-obvious techniques that will make all the difference.

Reviews for the courses from attendees are excellent. It's just $35 (about £26.50, it's on Eventbrite, it lasts about 2 hours, is interactive, with lots of opportunity for discussion, and it's THE best fun you can have on a dull Autumn Sunday. (Yes, really.)
