About

Hi—my name is Brenda Knight, and I am a writer and publisher (oh, and the office composter!)

I am a Double Pisces as well as a poet, gardener, astrologer, and fan of oddities. The more obscure, I say, the better. I acquire for Cleis Press & Viva Editions, an independent publisher. I am originally from Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which I thought was kinda embarrassing until I had an epiphany and realized that it was the coolest thing about me. Ask me about The Mothman.

I'm the author of Be a Good in the World, Women of the Beat Generation, and The Grateful Table. I also love teaching aspiring authors the art of the book deal, and "Putting Your Passion on Paper."
