Dinah Sanders

Currently self-employed as a writer, I hold degrees in History and Library Science. I put these skills to work on cocktail history and taxonomy in The Art of the Shim: Low-Alcohol Cocktails to Keep You Level and on the Bibulo.us blog. My first book, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff, explored letting go of what doesn't make life awesome.

Dinah's Projects

Bibulo.us

Bibulo.us brings my 'quality over quantity' philosophy to cocktails. The blog is co-authored with Joseph Gratz and covers recipes, ingredients, tools, resources, bars, people, and general essays on all matters relating to classic cocktails and fine service. You can follow Bibulous on Twitter. My second book, The Art of the Shim: Low-Alcohol Cocktails to Keep You Level, came out in hardcover and ebook formats in September 2013. It was nominated for the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award, the Oscar of the cocktail world, and named one of the 30 best cocktail books of all time by the internationally esteemed Diffords Guide.

Discardia

Discardia, a holiday I founded in 2002, is celebrated by carving away all that nonsense which isn't making us happy, and uncovering what does. It's about letting go of what doesn't add value to our lives - whether physical object, habit, or emotional baggage - and replacing it with what makes our worlds more true to our essential selves. Discardia.com brings together my online Discardian writings and comments from members of the growing Discardian community. You can follow Discardia on Twitter. My first book, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff came out in fall of 2011 and has sold over 4000 copies around the world.

Sanders & Gratz

Through my publishing partnership with Joseph Gratz, I am involved in every stage of creating my books and bringing them to market in their various formats.

MetaGrrrl

MetaGrrrl.com is my personal site, where I have been blogging since 1998. It is a portrait of my life and what is on my mind at various times in it. I am gradually extending it backwards in time to fill in my pre-Web history, as well as integrating past online activity which took place on other sites.
