Erin Dionne has published nearly two dozen books for adults and kids, taught writing at the college level for twenty-five years, and has given presentations across the US on writing craft. Her novel Moxie and the Art of Rule Breaking was an Edgar finalist in the Juvenile Fiction category. Bad Choices Make Good Stories (Table for 7 Press) marks her first nonfiction collection. She also pens cozy mysteries under the name Mina Allan. Her goal is to help writers learn how to tell their stories, their way, as clearly as possible, by sharing the tools in her toolbox.
