Moira Donovan has spent a lifetime surrounded by stories.
For more than three decades, she taught English literature and writing, sharing her love of language, character, and the power of a well-told story with generations of students. Along the way, she never stopped creating stories of her own.
Her writing is shaped by the places she has called home — New York, Vermont, and Southern California — and by an enduring curiosity about family, memory, relationships, and the complicated ways our lives remain connected.
Crazy String, her debut novel, was written in Vermont and grew from years spent imagining the characters, histories, and secrets at the heart of one family.
Moira’s creative life extends beyond fiction. At Nine Cent Girl, she writes about family, art, fashion, travel, books, and the everyday moments that stay with us. Through Nine Cent Designs, she explores another longtime passion: visual art.
