I’m Polly Conway. I’m a Bay Area writer and editor.

Hi. I’m Polly. I live on the lazy island of Alameda, CA. I never dreamed I’d be that person sitting in my trunk in the parking lot by the beach, ripping off a wetsuit after a frigid ocean swim, but I am. I returned to writing poetry in 2025. I am a senior Editor at Common Sense Media and edit poetry for Nulla, a quarterly arts journal.
