Gabrielle Baer

I started writing at age ten. I first

used my grandmother's shiny black metal

typewriter to write stories about books

and tv shows I'd seen. It was 14 years

before I knew I was writing fanfiction.

I still am. But in the past fifteen years

I've started writing original novels.

I've taken part in Nanowrimo five

times and love the self-challenge.

If I weren't a writer I would be a history

teacher because I also love history.

Or I'd stick to writing poetry which I

have done since age 15.
