Want to know more about me?
Okay, let’s see . . . I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma, a writer, an editor, a reader, a university instructor, a Christian, a dog lover, a new cat lover (and we have way too many cats who keep having more cats . . . funny how that works), and a transplant from the suburbs to a couple acres in the country. We also seem to be magnets for stray animals (hence, the cats). We’re working on taming our big yard, slowly remodeling our little cottage, building a playground for the grandchildren, and learning something new every day.
I have a B.A. in English and Writing from Houghton College, Houghton, NY (1980) and an M.A. in English from Ball State University, Muncie, IN (2013). I am currently pursing an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Ashland University, Ashland, OH (2017).
I’m coordinating a new Christian writers conference at Taylor University, which will be held August 4-5, 2017 on the campus of Taylor University. Read all about Taylor’s Professional Writing Conference and think about joining us!

Hi Linda,
We met in Doc Hensley class at Taylor last week. I stopped by your blog and really enjoyed reading what you had to say.
Thanks again for all the info. you gave in class. It was great to here actual “play-by-play” of what happens in your office.
Hope we have the chance to talk again.

Hey Linda
I thought I was already signed up for your blog but I guess I wasn’t because I haven’t been getting any email notifications. Just started reading it today and it’s so nice to read you. I love words, words, words, especially yours and am glad you are writing where I can read you. I really like your photo here. You look very happy and quite pretty. Looking forward to reading more of you. Janine
Janine!!!! I am so thrilled to hear from you! I lost track of you awhile back. Write me at linda@lindataylorauthor.com and catch me up, okay?
Linda, -Just want you to know I enjoy reading your writing. Your kind spirit comes through in your words. I am a writer/editor who, after over 25 years of teaching my kids at home, now has time to pursue my craft. It started with editing a series of books for a friend (for free) and now ghost writing a book for someone else. Keep those blogs coming! –Roberta
