Hi there, and welcome to my blog about writing, books, and living a creative and positive life. This blog is one of my passions, and I’m honored to have subscribers from all over the world!
I’m Bryn Donovan, and I’m a writer, book editor, and optimist with a background as an executive editor in publishing. With my husband, I run Lucky Author, a book editing business! I’m a voracious reader, an altruistic kidney donor, and a rescue dog lover who never stops dreaming big.
I earned my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Arizona (but you don’t need an MFA to be a good writer!) My work has appeared in dozens of literary magazines, including Ploughshares, The Antioch Review, North American Review, Nimrod, and Puerto Del Sol, and I’ve published articles in McSweeneys and Writer’s Digest. I’m the author of ten children’s books, an inspirational gift book, and a G-rated contemporary romance for Hallmark, and I am the creative producer of two Hallmark movies. I’ve published steamy romances as well as nonfiction books for writers, including Master Lists for Writers and 5,000 Writing Prompts.
I’ve taught writing workshops at Catapult, The Writers Place in Kansas City, and at writing conferences. As a teacher, I focus not only on opportunities for improvement, but also on identifying ways that writers can make the most of their individual strengths.
