with Annie McDonnell

The Write Review Literary Community is filled with all things literary with a living room feel! My “new-normal” here needs to change as my health does. For that, I appreciate your grace!
The Write Review Page is there for Interviews to be public, only.
I started when I read about a contest in Elle Magazine in 2006 where the 15 Contest Winners would become the “Readers’ Prize Panel” and review 3 Top Best Seller each month for the print magazine. We were asked to list our 5 favorite books and write a review of our favorite. So, I wrote a review for Jane Austen’s “Pride & Prejudice”. About a month later I found out I was one of the winners and I began receiving ARC’s or manuscripts to review. Right after that I started a blog, but nothing stuck until The Write Review which officially began in 2010. Then in March, 2019, “The Write Reviewer’s Book Club” was opened on Facebook with Serena Soape as my co-pilot.
This Community has survived so many breaks, closes and all around confusion due to my health. I am so grateful to the community we have all built together.
One thing is for sure! I do not want to stop running this until I have nothing to give. I may have to change the landscape, but the heart of The Write Review is the love of literacy.
I absolutely loved birthing this community. I am so honored to all who are part of it!

“I love being a part of The Write Review…an amazing place to be for the book community. Thank you for all you do!” - Reena Agarwal Gilja, Member
“Meeting Annie and being recently joined this book club as a “contributing moderator.” In my honest opinion, it is more than a book club. It is a literary club which fosters relationships between authors, poets, instructors and readers / reviewers. It is also a good source of information for people seeking to market their work.” – Kristine Okhubo, author
“Meeting Annie and being featured in The Write Review (with my memoir, Paradise Road) has been a highlight on my new author’s journey so far. Annie’s love for books, readers, and authors is immediately evident, and her personality is warm and infectious. She’s found her calling, and we all benefit!” - Marilyn Kriete, author
“You want to have fun while being introduced to new authors to read , come to The Write Review!” - Diane Allen Robinson, Member
“Being interviewed by Annie for The Write Review and having an opportunity to talk about my novel, Over The Hills Of Green, made me look at my own writing from a new angle.
