Without a Net - Cooper Griffin, Kimberly

Résumé :
It's a summer of transition for Fiona MacGregor and Meg Jordan. Having just passed the New York state bar exam, Fiona is excited about her emerging career, but something she never anticipated threatens to upend all of her carefully laid plans. Meg is spending the summer in New York City after finishing veterinary school, and before she moves back to Seattle to join her aunt's veterinary clinic. A hot summer day at a Morningside Heights coffee shop brings them together when they hear the cries of motherless kittens. Fiona and Meg are forced to figure out if love can overcome much more than just geographical distance.

Biographie:
Kimberly Cooper Griffin is an award-winning author and software designer. Her technical career spans almost three decades and while she's always been a writer, she's focused on it more recently, effectively melding her technical and creative passions. Over that time, she has pondered two major issues: 1 - Publishing has a diversity problem, 2 - The overly complex process of getting published, whetherthrough self-publishing or a traditional publisher. She attributes these issues to the barriers to entry: time, money, and knowledge. These have led to marginalized voices getting left behind in a historically straight, white, cis male-dominated industry. To address this, with the help of partners, she founded a software company called Inkstacks, which is working to establish a nurturing community for writers that providessoftware-guided navigation, simplifying a complicated process to produce high-quality manuscripts. This supports all writers, particularly marginalized groups who have been historically shut out of a clear path toward publication. Kimberly's vision is to provide writers with visibility and readers and publishers with a wider, richer pool of diverse talent, by removing hurdles, and allowing writers to do whatthey love to do most-write.
