Hi, I'm Kim!
I'm the author of Write a Novel in 100 Days, Trafficked, and This Is Not a Love Letter. I teach novel writing to kids, teens, and adults, and I'm the founder of Purcell Publishing — an international writing company that helps writers find their voice, finish their novels, and move toward publication.
I was the first Curriculum Director of WriteGirl, the nationally recognized writing and mentoring organization for teen girls. I believe everyone has a story worth telling — and I love helping people tell it.
