Venessa Giunta wrote bad short stories and angsty poetry off and on through high school. She took a very long hiatus. It was probably because of the poetry. When she turned thirty five, she realized that what she really wanted to do was write. After many short story rejections, it occurred to her that some sort of classes in writing might be beneficial. She subsequently worked toward and was awarded her Master of Fine Arts in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. Venessa has worked as an editor for Loose Id, LLC and as a freelance editor since 2008 and has discovered that it's a profession she really, really loves. Really.
Venessa lives in the metro Atlanta area and is lucky enough to reside with her muse who masquerades as her husband. And she no longer writes poetry. It’s better for everyone that way.
