84: Mary Helen Sheriff - Author of Boop and Eve's Road Trip

Mary Helen talks about the three things she was advised not to do in a debut novel (unfortunately she'd done all three), messaging her "Christmas list" one day before her pub date with specific, simple things they could do to help her, why she's given up on Pinterest, and why she's writing the rough draft of her next novel as pure dialogue. Mary Helen Sheriff is a co-founder of Bookish Road Trip. After 14 years in classrooms teaching elementary school, middle school, college, and professionals, Mary has taken a break from the classroom to focus on writing. She has an MFA from Hollins University, an MA from ODU, and a BA from UVA. She lives in Henrico County in Virginia with her two children, two cats, and one husband.
