Antonia Malchik has written essays and articles for Aeon, The Atlantic, Orion, The Los Angeles Times, High Country News, and a variety of other publications. Her first book, A Walking Life, about the past and future of walking’s role in our shared humanity, is published by Hachette. She is currently working on No Trespassing, a book about ownership, private property, and the theft of the commons past, present, and future. Antonia volunteers for wilderness trail and barbed wire fencing removal crews, spends a lot of time camping and sitting by rivers, advocates for public lands, urban walkability, and affordable housing, and lives in her hometown in northwest Montana.​

No social media accounts. My newsletter, On the Commons, is available via subscription through Substack, and I regularly write articles on Medium. Please contact me (details below) for a full resume of writing, talks, panels, and other public appearances.
