Author bio

Greetings! My name's Ida, I'm 33, and from PA/USA. I'm currently studying to become a Physical Therapist Assistant after 14+ years of employment in the Hospitality/Resort Industry. I've been a Reedsy Prompts member since March of 2021. A former college English professor asked me if I had ever considered writing short-stories more often. I hadn't. I wrote only when I needed to for class assignments and grades, never for fun. I didn't know writing could be fun! I came across Reedsy Prompts on my own. Creative writing is a newfound hobby. I began writing for leisure back in April of 2022. "A Hook and A Cliff-Hanger" is my debut short-story. I am currently weaving together a manuscript for my debut novel, a romantic-comedy, inspired by Reedsy Prompts prompt, "Set your story in the lowest rated restaurant in town" As a new author, I'd appreciate any constructive criticism or feedback on my writing! Thank you for your time! -Ida Bea Weaver
