About Molly

Molly has loved writing since her first forays into the written word, from short-story historical fiction about pioneers to plays penned with her next-door neighbors such as Evil Santa and Style is Sweet but Sports are Better

Molly continued to pursue her passion for writing throughout her education in her undergraduate studies in classics, her self-designed independent study courses in American History, and the culmination of her masters’ studies where she co-write a one-act musical, Technicolor, which included original lyrics for the fictional Jaws, the Musical Movie.

Molly’s recent projects include co-writing a full-length musical, The Fling LP; staff writer for All About Solo, an online arts publication devoted to reviewing solo theatre; writer for Greater Good Media, which publishes local, quartlery newspapers; freelance contributor to The Valley News, a daily newspaper in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Testimonials

“I had the great privilege of working with Molly at All About Solo, an online arts publication devoted to reviewing solo theatre happening in New York City. At the time, I was serving as Editor-in-Chief, and Molly was one of our staff writers. She was truly exceptional to work with! Not only was her writing eloquent, honed, and to a high professional standard, but she wrote with strong, creative passion that elicited interest from our subscribers and impressed the rest of our staff. On top of all this, her professionalism and positive attitude was always welcome at every show she attended. I highly recommend Molly and her writing both as an individual and for prospective organizations.”
