Pam McGaffin
Biography
Pam McGaffin
Pam McGaffin always knew she would write books when she grew up.
So, at age 51, after a long career in journalism and public-relations, she quit her day job and went to work. After seven years, countless rewrites and a seat-of-her-pants course in modern publishing, she is proud to be releasing her debut novel, THE LEAVING YEAR, with SparkPress Aug. 14.
Pam's short stories have appeared in the online literary journals, Eclectica and Amarillo Bay, and her non-fiction articles have been published in many Puget Sound-area publications and websites, including The Daily Herald (in Everett, WA), Bicycle Paper, the MS Connection newsletter, and Seattle Children's Story Project.
She has a BA degree in Communications Journalism from the University of Washington and certificates in fiction writing and advanced literary fiction from UW Extension.
When she isn't writing, she likes to think about writing, read, walk the dog, do sprint-distance triathlons and devise ways to get her family to eat more colorful food.
