With a diverse team of writers here at The Hudsucker, there are many different thoughts running through each one of us. Though we are all ultimately the same, bonding over a love of writing, we’re all very different with giving advice. First introduced in February of 2013, our team collected questions from readers and created our first ever advice column called “He Said, She Said” where two of our ladies and two of our gentlemen took turns in helping to provide insight and wisdom through dilemmas that ranged through topics of love and sex; branching out into romance, relationships, friendship, being single, marriage, infidelity, and much more.
If you have a question for our team and would like to be featured on our column, be sure to email us at thehudsuckerblog[at]gmail.com or fill out our Contact Form with your name and location.
