BookGirlTV with Tessa Smith McGovern

Welcome! I'm Tessa and if you'd like to have fun writing your stories while you improve your craft, submit your work for publication, or pitch your book to literary agents, please join our welcoming writers' community! 

I offer two FREE writing sprints ON ZOOM on Tuesdays at 12 noon ET & Wednesdays at 6 pm ET (they last for 90 mins and are for writers of all levels.

I've taught writing for 26 years (since 2011 at WI Sarah Lawrence College) and it's my deepest joy to help people start and finish their stories, revise them and submit for publication. I teach how to link short stories, essays or memoirs into a collection, and how to create that all-important author platform. I'm a hybrid author - traditionally-published and founder of a small press, My books were Amazon best-sellers: London Road: Linked Stories and Cocktails for Book Lovers (Sourcebooks).
