Paula Norton's Alter Ego

Zach Hirsch

Paula Norton wanted to make life a little more interesting. So she started writing novels that turn her insurance job into something entirely different. And for the first time, one of her novels is actually getting some attention. Zach Hirsch has the story. 

There are many critique groups like Paula's that are designed to help Cape Cod writers of all genres and skill levels. To learn about joining one of these groups, visit Capecodwriterscenter.org. 

This piece comes from production partners Atlantic Public Media, through their media training program, the Transom Story Workshop in Woods Hole.
