Describe your work (influences, interests, etc.) and what you're working on now.
I'm working on a new novel focused on the power of women working together and building their networks. It provides a nod to many incredible women in history, but is definitely not historical fiction.
What are your short term (1 year) and long term writing goals (5 years from now)?
I will complete my first draft of this next novel in the next six months. In the long term I want to write and publish in multiple genres.
What class(es) did you take/are you taking with Writing Workshops?
30 Poems in 30 Days with Sarah Carson.
What did you enjoy most about your class(es) with Writing Workshops?
I enjoyed the interactivity between fellow classmates and honest feedback from Sarah.
