About Me

Atlanta, Georgia, United States
My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Winston-Salem on a Saturday afternoon!


Two Saturdays from now, in fact - June 6th at 1pm at Shakespeare and Company in Kernersville! Me, Invisible Sisters, and ... you?

Come check it out if you're in the area. Good reading, great Q&A (you bring the questions, I'll provide the answers) and if I read the part about the 2nd grade play, I'll sing part of it. (Okay, maybe you don't want me to.)

In the meantime, heading to NY for some long-overdue catching up, a notes-free performance, and maybe some good shopping.

Both events will involve fancy shoes, like the ones above.

Oh, and Atlanta? How come we can't walk on the sidewalks like everybody else?

Thanks, M.L. for the photo, and T. for getting me hooked on artisan shoes.
