Women Writers for you To Read

A by no means exhaustive list of women writers to read in 2014.

Please note, I have mostly included women who haven’t had recent huge commercial success. If you identify as a woman and would like to be added to the list drop me a comment with your name and a link of your choosing.

  1. I’m working painfully slowly on a long read. Here’s one of the completed elements. I have performed it live, and am about to perform the next one. My plan is to create perhaps five of these, coming in at 15 minutes read out, get them out there via radio and youtube for free, then write more around them, so really I’m aiming at something which is entirely written for the spoken word, which people can see me perform or hear bits of easily, but then not get short changed if they do, eventually, buy the audiobook. So far it’s only available to read, though. http://elaine4queen.wordpress.com/pattern-recognition/
