edit data

A bestselling author, Ruthanne Reid has led panels on world-building, taught courses on plot and character development, and been the keynote speaker for the Write Practice Retreat. Author of seven books and dozens of short stories, she creates daily videos to help other creatives get unblocked and into a healthy habit of creation.

Ruthanne has lived in her head since childhood when she used up her mom’s red typewriter ribbon writing a story about a pony princess and a genocidal snake-kingdom. When she isn’t reading, writing, or reading about writing, Ruthanne enjoys old cartoons with her husband and cats, and dreams of living on an island beach far, far away.

P.S. Red is still her favorite color.
