Nola is a French-American writer, mentor at Girls Write Now, and a digital advertising executive. Her previous publications include travel narratives in Alternet.org, Matador Sports Network and The Women’s International Perspective. Raised in Washington, D.C. in a multilingual family of five, Nola is fluent in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. In her free time, Nola enjoys running along the Hudson (Jersey-side for those glorious views of Manhattan!), eating all things seafood, and chewing on business ideas for this crazy-wonderful digital world.
In this episode of Speaking in First Draft, Nola and Colette discuss how to write fictional narratives about real people, and why the themes of the French Revolution are still relevant today.
