When she’s not fostering literary love matches on her Beautiful Writers Podcast (a favorite stop for writers on tour), writing, and promoting Beautiful Writers, or midwifing books at her Carmel or virtual writing retreats, Linda can be found on the back of a horse or running with her dogs. She and her husband live on their ranch in Scottsda ...more

The Ache to Write Is Reason Enough (Reflections from Our Sept Virtual Retreat)

Blurry Zoom screenshots aside, this Virtual Retreat group was/is PERFECT.

Whoa. This is just the kind of mix of sociology, psychology, and history that I find compelling—the author has clearly spent the necessary time over two decades in archives seemingly left unplundered. The book manages to be both personal in its manne ...more
