Writers on Writing: A Tale of Two Rachels

Today I got up at the crack of dawn (actually, 8:15, but it was Sunday!) to interview Brookline writer Rachel Solar. We first met at the Boston Younger Women's Task Force brunch back in November, and she's been a great resource for brainstorming ideas and getting editorial contacts. We agreed that Brookline is a great place for writers because there's so much going on and lots of quiet places to sit and write. The full article will appear in the March issue ofOur Town Brooklinemagazine, but I wanted to pass on some of Rachel's favorite writers "hangouts":

  • Brookline Booksmith
  • Family Restaurant in Brookline Village
  • JP Licks
  • Infusions Tea Spa (in Allston)

Footnote: I blatantly stole this post's title from a writing class I took freshman year of college (aptly called Writers on Writing). The instructor, also named Rachel, was a pretty cool lady who later published a non-fiction book titled Foreign Babes in Beijing . We had no idea she lead such a fascinating double life! Actually, that would make an interesting article: "The Secret Lives of College Professors." Hmm...
