Jamie Fairchild serves as the executive editor at Home Insemination Kit, where she curates freelance articles. If you have a story to share, feel free to pitch her! She is eager to connect with new voices.
Before joining Home Insemination Kit, Jamie dedicated 8 years to writing for Modern Mamas, where she penned the beloved “Mommy Chronicles” column. Yes, that IS a picturesque castle in the backdrop of her profile picture! As a senior editor, she commissioned diverse articles about literature, culture, and history. Over her extensive career, she has explored topics ranging from romance novels and body positivity to American consumer habits and even a wildly popular post on medieval walking methods—she still wonders why it garnered so much attention.
Jamie launched her writing journey at Business Weekly and The Urban Observer, contributing to various publications like Dwell and Urbanist.
A Harvard University alum, she grew up in Georgia, nestled between a river and a railroad, and has an astonishing number of stories from her swampy childhood. Currently, she resides in New York with her husband, a kindergarten-age daughter (time flies, doesn’t it?), and one large, grumpy cat who keeps her company while she works, often grumbling at passing birds. Jamie is full of questions about the world-building in children’s shows like Paw Patrol and can often be found at her local library, encouraging her daughter to delve into sword-and-sorcery fantasy novels, a mission that is going splendidly.
