Hooking the Reader
One of the many reasons I love having writer friends is because they write posts like this that inspire me to get back to work revising my novels. I met Ann at a writing workshop on Martha’s Vinyard. We wrote, shopped and made delicious pizzas. Three years later our small group still keeps in touch, cheering each other on and offering encouraging words when the writing life gets difficult. Workshops and retreats are not only places to grow as a writer they’re also fertile ground to grow lasting friendships. I’m excited to share this post on hooking the reader. Introducing Ann Finkelstein! Hooking the Reader Thank you, Krista, for asking to me…

Still, I Write
I’ve been to a lot of writing conferences and workshops over the past twelve years. One of my favorite experiences was three years ago with Emma D Dryden on Martha’s Vineyard. We were a small group of writers who wrote, learned, and cooked together. That’s where I met Beverly. I’m grateful she agreed to write a post for VOICES. I look forward to reading her novel. Introducing Beverly James!

Silence Is Status Quo
Shelly Hassett is the featured writer for this month’s post. Shelly is twenty-four years old. She has a B.S. in Environmental Studies and teaches elementary school science. I met Shelly when she was in middle school. When all the other students were in line talking a mile a minute on the way to lunch, there was Shelly, book in hand, learning about the world. She’s extremely well-read which is why I keep encouraging her to write. I was thrilled when she agreed to write this post.
