Sylvie Fox '93 es una de las autoras más vendidas de USA Today de "ficción inteligente para mujeres inteligentes."

Sylvie Fox ‘93 is a USA Today Bestselling author of “smart fiction for smart women.” Known for writing sexy contemporary romance and legal thrillers, Fox is a Smith alum worth knowing about. Since her time at Smith she’s lived in Brooklyn, Cleveland, Budapest, and Los Angeles practicing law, writing for various small newspapers, and writing her own fiction. Her work includes the L.A.

As many who have attempted can attest, it is not as simple as it sounds. NaNoWriMo is an online based project that is supported by hundreds of local writing groups just like the one we met in the Haymarket Cafe.
