About the Group
I'm a lapsed writer living in Brooklyn, NY. I've written primarily short fiction and one self-published novel. The short fiction has been published in a number of lit mags.
In a Writer's Digest interview, I was asked how I would describe my writing style. It’s hard to say because I enjoy experimenting with different genres that require different voices. My narrators run the gamut from wisecracking to love-stricken. I’ve written horror and fairy tale fantasy as well as realistic narratives. I’ve moved through micro and flash fiction to short shorts, full-length stories, and the novella. In general, however, I tend toward short fiction that tends to be dark and to deal with family relationships.
Although I'm living with post-polio syndrome, walk with a limp and find stairs difficult to negotiate, in general I do NOT write about my disability and would prefer not to be categorized as a disabled writer.
My ideal workshop group consists of three to five participants that meet monthly. My aim is to find a group or start a group that will get me writing again.
Hoping for sucess,
Marie Bacigalupo
