I have been reading and writing, basically, ever since I learned how to, and everything I've done has pretty much been connected to those two things. I received my BA in English at St. Andrews University, and my MA in Creative Writing from Florida State University. I have worked as an event coordinator at a major chain bookstore; as a freelance writer; a composition instructor; an editorial assistant at an NYC publisher; as Editor-in-Chief at a thought leadership agency, manager of an independent children's bookstore (Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, GA); a Marketing team manager, and as Program Director of the AJC Decatur Book Festival. When not writing or reading I really enjoy cooking and paper crafts.
