Hi,
I’m
Mary
I love blazers, olive green, and giant fonts.
I’m also the author of the novels When You Read This (Indie Next Pick, “Best Book of 2019” by Good Housekeeping and Real Simple), Privilege (Today.com "Best Summer Read"), and Palm Beach (New York Post "Best Book of the Year"), and the memoir You Might Feel a Little Pressure.
I teach people to write books, too, through my program The Book Incubator™, an MFA-alternative for people writing novels and memoirs in which 94% of writers finish their books within a year.
On my podcast The First Draft Club, I share writing advice in quick, digestible episodes.
Not bored yet? Great! Here’s more:
