Bio
Chauncey Zalkin is a writer, ethnographer, and female advocate based in Barcelona. She attended Bennington and the New School graduating in 1996 with a degree in Cultural Studies. In 1999, she founded a pre-blog era blog where she recorded all the changes going on in media and the streets of New York. Girlonthestreet.com was nominated for a Webby in 2003 attracting people from the ad world which led to a job as a head strategist in the agency world. In January 2007, after an agency lay-off and profound dissatisfaction with the ad world, she took her savings and moved to Paris to work on an autobiographical novel, the culmination of her observations growing up in glitzy Miami in the Eighties and coming into her own in Nineties and post Millennial New York. Since her escape from advertising, she’s hosted the Marais Writers Group in Paris - a group of novelists getting together Tuesday nights with wine, bread, chevre and mangled manuscripts, before landing in Barcelona where she taught insights at the Istituto Europeo de Design and then conceived of and hosted an international ‘women in design’ exhibit in London. In August, she dotted the final “I” and crossed the final “t” on the last draft of her novel and has no place left to hide. As she begins to shop for an agent and publisher, she continues her dedication to the lens of global female creativity through her website, whatwomenmake.com and starts to write anew on Peter Chauncey Barcelona.
