Meet The Viva Horizon Editorial Team

Three editorial voices. One mission: help adults 60+ reinvent their identity, purpose, and daily life.

A note on transparency. Viva Horizon is a publishing project built around three editorial voices. They are characters — not real people with fabricated biographies. We chose this approach because the topics we cover (purpose, reinvention, creative aging) deserve consistency of voice more than a hidden founder. Behind these voices, a small team researches, writes, and edits. We cite our sources so you can verify our claims. We aim for usefulness, not authority for its own sake.

Claire Morgan

Lead Voice — Purpose & Reinvention · Legacy & Wisdom

Claire is the lead voice of Viva Horizon. She writes about identity, meaning, and the quiet work of starting again at 62. Optimistic but realistic. Elegant without being pretentious. Cultivated without being academic.

She represents the idea that a new life begins after 60 — not a diminished version of the previous one, but something richer, more intentional, and harder-won.

Covers: Purpose & Identity, Legacy & Wisdom clusters.

David Harper

Retirement Lifestyle — Daily Practice · Connection

David is the voice of structure and practicality. He writes about routines, connection, and what to do with your days when no one is scheduling them for you. His tone is warm and grounding — less philosophical than Claire, more action-oriented.

He speaks to couples navigating retirement together, and to men who find the identity transition harder to talk about.

Covers: Daily Practice, Connection clusters.

Susan Blake

Creative Aging — Creative Reinvention

Susan is the voice of late blooming and creative living. She writes about art, learning, and the unexpected power of trying something completely new in your 60s and 70s. Her tone is encouraging, sensory, and resolutely anti-cliché.

She believes that creativity is not a talent — it is a practice. And that it is never, ever too late to start.
