Hola, beautiful people! Many thanks for dropping by. My name is Stephanie Elizondo Griest and I’m a writer from Corpus Christi, TX who is currently nesting in Iowa City, IA. I started “Around the Blog” in January 2010 as a way to share stories, thoughts, and reflections about life on the road and behind the computer screen. Here, you’ll find interviews with the contributors of my new anthology, Best Women’s Travel Writing 2010, as well as insight into the publishing industry (agents, book proposals, marketing and promotion), the travel writing world, artistic residencies, grants, scholarships, fellowships, MFA programs, etc. I will also be posting updates about the people I profiled in my two memoirs, Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana, and Mexican Enough: My Life Between the Borderlines, as well as updates to my guidebook, 100 Places Every Woman Should Go. Please visit my author website at www.aroundthebloc.com for more detailed info, or to drop me a line.
Enjoy y saludos!
