edit data

Linda Smolkin always wanted to be a writer—ever since she saw her first TV commercial and wondered how to pen those clever ads. She got her degree in journalism and became a copywriter. Linda landed a job at an ad agency, where she worked for several years before joining the nonprofit world. She’s the author of Among the Branded, The Secret We Lost, Love the Way They Lie, The Obituary Tales, and her newest novel, The Incompletes, which releases on September 17, 2024. When not in front of the computer, she’s behind the drums (slightly) annoying her neighbors. To learn more, visit lindasmolkin.com and follow her on Instagram: @lindasmolkin.
