Nathan Manske

Nathan Manske is the Founder and Executive Director of ImFromDriftwood.com, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that collects and shares LGBTQ stories from all over the world. In the Fall of 2010 he embarked on a 50-state Story Tour collecting stories from towns and cities across the country to send a simple yet sometimes life-saving message to queer youth: You Are Not Alone. Having already amassed an impressive number of written and video stories since I’m From Driftwood’s inception, Manske hopes to tell the queer community’s stories in other formats, such as podcasts, live readings, theater productions and television.

I’m From Driftwood was presented as part of the New York New Playwright Festival 2011. Read an interview with Nathan Manske.
