Deborah Harper, President of Psychjourney, interviews Jane Ganahl, author of Naked On The Page: The Misadventures of My Unmarried Midlife, published by Viking.

Jane Ganahl has been a journalist in the San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years. For both the Examiner and Chronicle, she served as City Hall muckraker, pop music critic, and cultural observer. For four and a half years, until she left the paper this summer, she was columnist of the popular Single Minded feature, which celebrated the unmarried life.

For her outspokenness, Jane was named to MSN.com's Singles Hall of Fame, alongside Maureen Dowd and Oprah Winfrey. Of her work, MSN wrote: “Jane Ganahl is not only a keen observer of single life - she's also a champion of it.”

Last year, Jane edited the well-received anthology, Single Woman of a Certain Age: 29 Women Writers on the Unmarried Midlife. She has also contributed essays to three other female-centric anthologies, including the upcoming “Single State of the Union.” She has also made numerous radio and TV appearances talking about la vida sola (most notably on The Today Show).

Because she can’t stand to sit still, Jane also organizes a monthly a dinner for creative people in San Francisco, as well as the annual Litquake literary festival which she co-founded in 1999. She lives south of The City on the beautiful San Mateo County coast, dotes on her grown daughter and enjoys her single life. She is looking forward to the post-journalism world so she can get more involved in politics. Visit her website.
