Writer & Community Builder
Hi, I’m Nicole Giordano. I’ve spent the last 20 years building and running successful businesses — communities that bring thousands of people together around creativity and craft. Today, that’s The Midlife Creative Studio, built for midlifers reclaiming a creative practice, and the Philly Writing Club, a thriving in-person writing community in Philadelphia.
Alongside two decades in business, I write essays on grief, identity, and midlife womanhood, with a growing list of bylines. Explore my work and the communities I’ve built below.
