About this author

I have been reading and writing, basically, ever since I learned how to, and everything I've done has pretty much been connected to those two things. I went to college at a small, fantastic school (with a super writing program) called St. Andrews Presbyterian College. I got my Master's degree in Creative Writing from Florida State. I have worked as an event coordinator at a major chain bookstore; as a freelance writer; a composition instructor; an editorial assistant at an NYC publisher; as manager of an independent children's bookstore, in Decatur, GA, Little Shop of Stories; and am currently Program Director of the Decatur Book Festival.

“and it is hard to let go, to imagine alternatives, but you are bold with unknowing, you are ready to explore.”
Terra Elan McVoy, After the Kiss

“I wasn't aware that was how I felt, either, until it was out. And now that I've said it like that, I'm not exactly sure it is how I feel. But this isn't a piece of paper I can crumple up and throw away. they aren't words I can cross out to start over. Now they're out, and I know they'll hang here, between us, maybe forever.”
Terra Elan McVoy, Being Friends with Boys

“It's so awful when you need something from someone else, even though you're not sure what it is, and then you don't get it.”
Terra Elan McVoy, Pure

“...to be paid for one's joy is to steal.”
