Forum: Being a Quaker Author

Being a Quaker author

British Friend Jennifer Kavanagh spent nearly 30 years in publishing, mostly as a literary agent, and now works as a retreat leader and writer. In the last twenty years she has written 12 books of non-fiction and three novels.  Currently she is serving as Friend-in-Residence at Pendle Hill and will visit Swarthmore Meeting on December 1 to talk with us.  She will tell about the transition from literary agent to writer, the difference between writing fiction and non-fiction, and her individual process of writing. Most of all she will explore why she writes, how inspiration emerges, and how her faith informs her writing.
