Welcome to the Historical Fiction Pilot Writing Lab! I am so excited to be teaching this lab once again, because it allows me to do one of my favorite things: to step into a time machine and see our world in completely new ways. I can't wait to see where - and to when! - you are going to take me.

I am so glad to be a part of the writer's lab, Anna. I'm self-motivated, but accountability is a plus (for me). Also, I get to connect with wonderful artists like you all!
