Memoirist Betsy Vereckey moved from NYC to Hanover, N.H., a town she knew nothing about, except for the fact that it was her dog’s hometown. But sometimes, a cosmic hunch and challenging circumstances end up leading you right where you’re meant to be. Betsy Vereckey is a journalist and essayist who began her career as a reporter with the Associated Press in Athens, Greece. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times' Modern Love Column, The Boston Globe, The LA Times, New York Magazine, and more. She is a practicing astrologer and lives in Vermont with her husband and three very opinionated terriers. Joni B. Cole is the author of seven books, including the new release Party Like It’s 2044: Finding the Funny in Life and Death, and two acclaimed writing guides: Good Naked: How to Write More, Write Better, and Be Happier (listed as a “Best Books for Writers” by Poets & Writers magazine) and Toxic Feedback: Helping Writers Survive and Thrive ("I can't imagine a better guide to writing's rewards and perils than this fine book,” American Book Review). For twenty-five years she has taught creative writing to adults online and through her own writer’s center in White River Junction, Vermont, through the Dartmouth Writer’s Society, and at a diversity of academic and nonprofit programs across the country. She is a contributor to The Writer magazine and Jane Friedman blog, and hosts the podcast “Author, Can I Ask You?” For more info, email jonibethcole@gmail.com, or visit: jonibcole.com or thewriterscenterwrj.com.
