Author bio

I am an emerging writer based in Northern Arizona. I have a BA in Psychology with a minor in English and American Literature and an MBA in Global Business. By day, I run the Northern Arizona branch of a large nonprofit association where I enjoy helping nonprofits and people in need find the resources necessary to be successful. I am excited to be a Reedsy Prompts judge. My goal is to leave feedback on each piece that I judge to help improve participant's writing. If you have questions about any of my comments or would like a more detailed review, please let me know. When not exploring, judging Reedsy prompts, and playing with my many cats, dogs, and chickens, I enjoy maintaining a large home garden and writing short nonfiction. I am working on my first full length memoir centered on experiencing every day microaggressions. Connect with me on Instagram @angelaswrite.
