This week our guest is Barbara Riddle. Born and raised in New York, Barbara Riddle now lives and writes in two places: downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, and in rural Maine in the town of Millinocket. Barbara has worked as a dog-walker, artist’s model and biochemist but prefers writing fiction above all. In 2020-21 she served as Guest Fiction Editor of the journal Please See Me, devoted to improving communication between health care providers and patients through fiction, poetry and nonfiction narratives. Her writing has appeared in many small publications, including AMBIT (London), kayak (Santa Cruz), Fiction International (San Diego), and WestView News (New York). She writes a column for Atticus Review. A graphic memoir about her bohemian Greenwich Village girlhood, Lovers and Latchkeys, is in progress. Her coming-of-age novel The Girl Pretending to Read Rilke was named one of the Best Indie Debut Novels of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews. Her work can be found at barbarariddle.com
