After contributing essays to a number of collections including: "I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse (editor Lee Gutkind, Creative Non-fiction), "The Maternal is Political" and "I Wanna Be Sedated" (Seal Press anthologies) and both fiction and non-fiction to anthologies and periodicals, Gaby decided to pursue editing her own collection. "Dumped: Stories of Women Unfriending Women" published by She Writes Press. These 25 essays by a variety of writers speak to the near universal experience of losing connection with a cherished female friend, the kind of break up there should be an Adele song for but there isn't. Gaby is also an award-winning visual artist with work in the National Collection of the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, among other collections. She is currently working on combining flash memoir with image and text in a three dimensional format, which have been exhibited at several venues in Vermont. Gaby has completed a novel, "Marginal Living" that is waiting for additional revision. Book events to date for "Dumped" have included readings in upstate NY, central Vermont, Atlanta, Memphis and Oxford, MS. Upcoming panels and readings will be taking place in Boston, NYC, Burlington, VT and Maine. New work has just been published in "Intima: Journal of Medical Narrative," and in the "Best of the Burlington Writer's Workshop," and upcoming in the anthology "Mothering Through Darkness."
