Avocado Diaries is where I bring together two of my greatest passions: reading and baking. What began as a space for book reviews and author interviews almost five years ago has now grown into a home for stories, conversations, and recipes.

I’m Sean Loughran, a writer and lifelong book lover. Over the years, I’ve curated a selection of fiction and nonfiction reviews, and my interview series has featured notable, award-winning, and bestselling authors, art directors, and book cover designers. My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, FASHION, Paper, Daily Hive, Air Canada’s enRoute, and other international outlets.

Beyond the page, I’m an activist and trained mental health worker, dedicated to reducing stigma and raising awareness around eating disorders in men. I’m also passionate about yoga and meditation, and completed my YTTC in Rishikesh, at the foothills of the Himalayas.

Professionally, I’ve spent more than a decade working at the intersection of the fashion, entertainment, and technology industries.

Thank you for joining me here.

Sean
