Autor/-in: Evelyn Herwitz

Evelyn Herwitz has been telling stories since childhood, when she entertained her sister with songs about a dancing ant. For her own two daughters, now grown, resilient women, she concocted tales of talking moths and chipmunks; from them, she learned hard parenting lessons that inspired Line of Flight. Evelyn taught feature writing at Clark University in her hometown of Worcester, Mass. , and has told stories professionally as a public radio and award-winning print journalist, a marketing and communications specialist, and an author. Her environmental history of Worcester, "Trees at Risk" (Chandler House Press, 2001), was cited as "a major historical work with a strong environmental message. " Now devoted to writing fiction, she is a graduate of Grub Street's Novel Generator in Boston. Her stories have been published in Chautauqua, The Writing Disorder, and Embark Literary Journal. "Line of Flight" is her first novel.
