Kathleen West, MINOR DRAMAS & OTHER CATASTROPHES

Published: March 30, 2020, 9 a.m.

b'Kathleen West is the debut author of Minor Dramas & Other Catastrophes. Kathleen uses her experience as both a parent and school teacher to write a pretty perfect novel for today\'s moms and dads! Kathleen\\u2019s story involves a helicopter theater mom who has lost her sense of boundaries, a progressive English teacher who comes under fire for her curriculum, and a social media scandal that ensnares them both. This conversation was the perfect mix of parenting wisdom, writing advice and encouragement! Kathleen and I chatted about the lessons she\\u2019s learned by walking the line between parent and teacher and the writing workshops she held with her students while editing the novel. Kathleen started writing this book as a new year\'s resolution and as a way to reclaim her writing identity. I really appreciated her advice to let yourself to write something terrible! (I\\u2019ve definitely taken it - ha!)
