Hello, all!
I’m one of this fortnight’s guest bloggers. My blogging name is The Girl Detective, and I write for Modern Mitzvot, a site devoted to exploring social justice from a Jewish perspective. I also write at my self-titled blog.
I teach freshman composition at a community college, although someday I hope to get a job teaching creative writing. My fiction has appeared in journals here and there (my greatest accomplishment is a story in The Missouri Review) and I have an essay on gray rape coming up in the next issue of Make/shift. I’ve got two novels: one that I’m sending to small presses, and another – my first foray into science fiction – that is currently going okay.
I’d love to tell you my name, but some bad experiences a couple of years back made me decide to go undercover. (Who knew that men don’t like it when women write about sex?) BUT. If you’re dying to know, you can look at this flash story I wrote here.
These are things I like:
1. Space (the exploration of)
2. Antisemitism (the ending of)
3. Academia (the improvement of)
4. Literature (the reading of)
Big thanks to Jill for giving me this opportunity – I’ve got some stuff in store for you, oh yes. It’s going to be awesome.
