Gail Sheehy was an American author, journalist, and lecturer. She is known for her seventeen books and for high-profile magazine writing in outlets such as New York and Vanity Fair.

In that style, writers used literary techniques such as scene setting, dialogue, and status details, and sometimes entered the story more closely to report a central character’s thoughts.
