I’m delighted to have been interviewed by Open Book about Off the Record and the author-editor relationship. Read the interview here.

I’m delighted to have a snippet of my contribution to Off the Record excerpted in Quill and Quire. Read it here. The entire volume, featuring interviews with Kristyn Dunnion, Cynthia Flood, Shaena Lambert, Elise Levine and Kathy Page, is both entertaining and insightful for readers and writers at all stages of their careers.

Excited to be part of this anthology.
