From Education to Erotica and Back Again

In conversation with Nicola Prentis, double-award winning author living in Girona, Spain

“If you say you’re a single mother, you’re the object of a lot of men’s anger even though single mothers exist because of single fathers who have generally left them in that situation. People take time and energy to find you on Facebook and LinkedIn and tell you how much they hate you. Or—because they want to date you.”

Tune in to hear what it’s like to write and publish personal essays for which trolls and various other unsavory characters will abhor you—as well as to hear about the difficulties of being a freelance writer in Spain and the role writing communities play in writers’ creativity.
