Created by Hillary Carlip, who works as an NPR commentator and artist, the Fresh Yarn website is a place that serves as a gathering place for people interested in reading compelling, bizarre, and funny personal narrative essays. The site has been online since April, 2004, and since that time, there have been 25 "installments" of new material from a wide range of authors. Visitors to the site can read such great material as Jill Soloway's "Diamonds" piece from the first installment or Stephanie Kuehnhert's recollection of Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994. Those who are so inclined may also want to consider submitting their own piece for consideration after consulting the guidelines for such essays.
