Molly Howes is a nonfiction writer living in the Boston area. Thirty years of experience as a psychologist have crucially influenced and informed her sensibilities, but rearing four children has taught her even more. Her work has appeared in the New York Times “Modern Love” column, the Boston Globe Magazine, WBUR Cognoscenti (also read on NPR’s “Morning Edition”), Bellingham Review, The Tampa Review, Passages North, and Marco Polo Arts Magazine. She has been named a finalist for the Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction, the New Millennium Prize for Nonfiction and the Writers @ Work Fellowship. She has received fellowships MacDowell Colony and the Ragdale Foundation, and attended the 2013 AROHO Retreat. Her recently completed memoir, The Temporary Orphan: A Tale of Invisible Wounds and Invisible Grace, is the story of the childhood years she lived in a Children’s Home. Honorary Contributor
