Marsha Jacobson

Having grown up in a small Midwest town, I went to college in Boston and discovered I’m a city gal. I now live in New York City and am an author, teacher, and writing coach. My work has appeared in the New York Times; the Visible Ink anthology; and the flash fiction anthology, For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn. My memoir, The Wrong Calamity, is my debut book. Previously, I was an executive in corporations and nonprofits and a consultant to nonprofits. When I’m not writing, you might find me reading in a park or cooking something out of the ordinary in my kitchen while singing along with a playlist.
