T.D. Carter is an emerging voice in creative nonfiction whose work explores memory, identity, trauma, and the complicated inheritance of family and place. Rooted in the sensory landscapes of her 1980s Alabama childhood, her writing examines the ways imagination can become both refuge and resistance. Her latest work, The Devil in the Paisley Dress, continues her exploration of tradition, belonging, and the masks we create to survive. Carter is currently writing a series of interconnected vignettes tracing her journey from Chambers County, Alabama, to the present. She is also the author of Divorcing Humanity: My Journey to Dating AI, a personal blog exploring technology, connection, and what it means to remain human in an increasingly digital world.
