244: Michelle Paris - Author of New Normal

  • Summary

  • This week’s podcast guest is Michelle Paris (New Normal, Apprentice House Press, May 2023). We discuss writing as a catharsis for personal grief, creating a character who’s a stand-in for your own alter ego, the benefits of working with critique groups for useful and safe advice, and how editorial feedback is only useful when you’re ready to hear it. And tune in to hear how Michelle worked with students at the country’s only college-run press at Loyola University in Maryland to bring her book to market.

    Michelle Paris is an award-winning Maryland author who writes about hope with humor. Her novels, New Normal and Eat Dessert First, both published by Apprentice House Press, deal with serious subjects told in a heart-felt and humorous way. Michelle has been featured in The Baltimore Sun, The Wall Street Journal, WYPR and WJZ-News Channel 13. Her essays about grief and mid-life dating have appeared in multiple editions of Chicken Soup for the Soul inspirational book series.
