Meet The Writer’s Life interns!

This summer we welcomed three wonderful ladies into our virtual offices to add some life and vitality to The Writer’s Life blog. They’ve been doing such a great job that we thought it only fitting that we share some of the rest of their fabulousness with you.

Enjoy!

Laura Cude
Laura Cude is twenty one years old and from a dead beat town called Leatherhead which is located in Old Blighty. She left Kingston College last year with three A grade A levels, and three university acceptances. She turned them all down in favour of practical work experience, which is what bought her to Her Circle as one of three blog coordinators for the The Writer’s Life Blog. Laura’s interests include punk music, independent film and all things existentialist and feminist.

Melissa Corliss DeLorenzo
Melissa is a writer, reader, yogini (when she can squeeze it in), mom, part-time Office Manager, and a homemaker. She loves to cook and take long walks with her kids and is a woman who wants to meaningfully exchange and intersect with other women writers. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of Massachusetts and a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. Once she received her MFA, she began in earnest giving birth – not to exquisite works of literary brilliance, but to actual human babies (exquisite nonetheless). She is now emerging from the bleary, fuzzy cocoon of babyhood fervently renewed and ready to carve out a place in the world of words and stories. Currently she works at a web development company (because part-time Office Manager buys more groceries than Struggling Writer). She is at work on a novel and a short story collection. Melissa lives in North Central Massachusetts with her family.

Brittany-Ann Wick
Hello HerCircle readers!

My name is Brittany-Ann, and I’m one of the new interns for The Writer’s Life. I’m here to help find new writers for you to discover.
When I found out about this website, I immediately fell in love with it. A website that features women in art and literature? I added it immediately to the list of New Favorite Websites. You see, I’m a reader. I’m a writer. I’ve devoured books as soon as I learned how to read, and I began writing stories on my father’s drafting table soon after. Then I saw the call for interns. I knew I had to apply. It was perfect.
I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, home of the Kentucky Derby, also known as the gateway to the American South. I recently graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in English writing and Political Science. The timing seemed unreal, that this internship should surface right when I no longer had classes, papers, or graduation to worry about. What else could I do? So here I am.

I’ll be here behind the scenes for you until the end of the summer, looking for awesome women who write and do awesome things, and attempting to get said awesome women to write for this blog!

Offsite, I’m a sucker for crime shows: NCIS, Law & Order, and CSI. I’m also a Trekkie—Voyager, of course, because Captain Janeway is awesome.

I have an adorable two year old nephew—he’s the love of my life. I’ve read to him since before he could hold his head up. My mission is to make him as much a lover of books as I! (He already owns half a dozen books!)

I love to read historical fiction, especially if it’s based in France. But I also harbor a growing love for fantasy as well, sparked by Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Legacy series.

That’s all for now—I hope you’ll enjoy reading about the women featured on this blog as much as I do!
