Mindy Uhrlaub’s debut novel, Unnatural Resources, was published in November of 2020, by The Permanent Press after receiving a starred review from The Library Journal and praise from Publisher’s Weekly. It also won Honorable Mention at the San Francisco Book Festival and Five Stars from Readers’ Favorite. Her novel received the 2021 NYC Big Book Award for the Cultural Heritage category. Mindy participates in more than a dozen ongoing longitudinal studies for C9orf72 ALS. For work on her forthcoming ALS memoir, Last Nerve, A Memoir of Illness and the Endurance of Family, Uhrlaub was awarded residencies at Millay Arts, The Hambidge Center, Joyce Maynard’s Write by The Lake, Litcamp, and Ragdale for the Arts. Since learning she carries the C9orf72 mutation for ALS/FTD, she has testified before the FDA and the NIH about pre-symptomatic carriers of ALS’s need for medical treatment. In February 2023, Mindy was nominated onto a committee at the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine to make ALS a livable disease. The report, Living with ALS, was published in June of 2024. For co-founding the nonprofit, Genetic ALS&FTD: End the Legacy, Uhrlaub won the 2025 Harvey and Bonny Gaffen Advancements in ALS Award from the Les Turner ALS Foundation.
