One of the readers at a marathon reading of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own.
My name is Gabi Coatsworth, and I’m an award-winning writer who loves to support my fellow writers and storytellers. My work has been published in a new anthology: Imagining Monsters, and Then to Now, A Time Travel Anthology, also in Tangerine Tango: Women Writers Share Slices of Life and in many print and online journals.
I’m currently looking to publish my memoir, and writing a novel in the women’s fiction genre.
I run two Meetups for writers in Connecticut, WritersMic, an open mic evening, and the Westport Writers’ Rendezvous, a monthly get-together.
And I’ll be appearing at the Barnes & Noble in Westport on July 11, to interview debut author Amy Oestreicher about her memoir, My Beautiful Detour. Details here.

I interview writers, give you useful links for writers’ info around the web, and generally help you connect with anything which will help you write more, better or at all!

Hi Gabi,
Your short story excerpt is beautiful – lovely language and a comfortable nostalgic sense that soothes. I think I see Miggs Burrough’s “What If?” in the pile of books in the picture above, so we share him as a friend as well as Tricia! We met at the Pitchapalooza…All the best, Lea

I like your excerpt as well. I stopped by because you visited me, and I always like to return the favor. And lo, here I found another writer. How much fun is that? I’ll look forward to more visits in the future both directions. 🙂 Marsha 🙂

Hi, Gaby, having a rummage in your website, prior to returning your ‘follow’ on Twitter. Loving your blogs, especially as they’re diverse, and not formulaic! I think we’ve all become a little jaded by those writers who prattle incessantly about their books without ever leaving their narcissistic bubble! Great stuff, Gabi, looking forward to more of the same! Kevin Ansbro.
