ASH AMBIRGE is an American author and internet columnist who writes the best-selling Substack publication THE MIDDLE FINGER PROJECT on quitting your job & making a living with your ideas from anywhere in the world, read across 50 states and 123 countries, and cringed at by many-a-priest. Her flagship book by the same name (Penguin Random House New York + London) is about following your passions unless you're a serial killer, and has been translated into Finnish, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and most recently Hungarian. Ambirge's cheeky online creative writing school, MEAT & HAIR, was named before she realized everyone would think she was referring to a crotch. She is a 15-year digital nomad who splits her time between Europe, South America, and New England, studying and photographing historic architecture, and chatting up grumpy old men in pubs.

Her ideas have been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The BBC, CBS Radio, Entrepreneur Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, Philadelphia Magazine, Atlassian, Startup Nation, and hundreds of podcasts. She is a frequent hot sauce overachiever.
