Carol Diggs “retired” to Charlottesville in 2016 after a career in public relations while freelancing off and on. Now also working part-time as a tour guide at Montpelier, Diggs writes about whatever and whoever sounds interesting, from Swannanoa and bobcats to death doulas and Colby’s Crew. Career highlights include seeing her byline in the Wall Street Journal, asking Beverly Sills a question she had never heard before, and writing a profile on reproductive health advocate Amy Hagstrom Miller as Diggs’ very first C-VILLE assignment. Her favorite books include The Signature of All Things, The Demon of Unrest, and An Immense World.
