Kris Spisak wrote her first book, Get a Grip on Your Grammar: 250 Writing and Editing Reminders for the Curious or Confused (Career Press, 2017; HarperCollins India 2020), to help writers of all kinds sharpen their storytelling and empower their communications. Her “Words You Should Know” podcast, Grammartopia® events, and Story Stop Tour programs follow the same mission, as do her second and third books, The Novel Editing Workbook (Davro Press, 2020) and The Family Story Workbook (Davro Press, 2020). Kirkus Reviews called her debut novel, The Baba Yaga Mask (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, 2022), “A complex, poetic tale.” Kris has been spotlighted in Writer’s Digest and The Huffington Post for her work as an editor and author dedicated to helping other writers. When not researching, writing, teaching, or editing, she can often be found going on hiking trips in the Appalachians, sneaking off to the Gulf coast beaches of Florida, and travelling as much as she can.
