by Joli

Occupation: Senior Content Writer

City:  Minneapolis, MN

Preferred Genres:

Reading Habits:
Having graduated with a degree in English, I just love books and reading. It’s just engrained in my life. As a mom of a preschooler, I do most of my reading at night, after she’s in bed. I consistently read about one book per week, and have started getting into audiobooks! I’m the Minneapolis chapter host of a book club with chapters world-wide, which is very cool. I started Literary Quicksand because I needed an outlet for my book love, and my day job is writing for the web, SEO, and content strategy. So, I combined my online skills with my love of books!
