My name is Marissa Bell Toffoli. A writer and reader, I spend lots of time with books, and then more time thinking about those books and the words that fill their pages. I am interested in what writers are working on, how they think about writing, and how writing fits in their lives. In March 2010, I began publishing interviews with writers on Suite101.com. That project grew and became Words With Writers.
I am a poet, writer, and editor living in Berkeley, California with my husband and a wily kitty. My chapbook of poems, Under the Jacaranda, is available as an ebook from TheWriteDeal. You can learn more about me from my Google profile.
