Jody Hobbs Hesler has written ever since she could hold a pencil. She lives and writes at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her work includes short stories, novels, feature articles, book reviews, essays, and other free-lance writing and editing. 

Growing up, Jody split her time between suburban Richmond, Virginia, and the mountains outside Winchester, Virginia. Experiences of both regions flavor her writing. 

Today, Jody teaches at Writer House in Charlottesville, Virginia and is offering an online course beginning September 19th, “Staying the Course.” It is designed for people with long-term writing goals, such as novels, memoirs, story collections, but it would also work for anyone who wants accountability and camaraderie for their writing discipline, even if they aren't shaping that discipline around a specific project.
