Siri Mitchell graduated from the University of Washington with a
business degree and worked in various levels of government. As a
military spouse, she has lived all over the world, including Paris and Tokyo. Siri enjoys
observing and learning from different cultures. She is fluent in French
and loves sushi.
But she is also a member of a
strange breed of people called novelists. When they're listening
to a speaker and taking notes, chances are, they've just had a great idea
for a plot or a dialogue. If they nod in response to a really profound
statement, they're probably thinking, "Yes. Right. That's exactly
what my character needs to hear." When they edit their
manuscripts, they laugh at the funny parts. And cry at the sad parts.
Sometimes they even talk to their characters.
Siri wrote 4 books and
accumulated 153 rejections before signing with a publisher. In the
process, she saw the bottoms of more pints of Ben & Jerry's than she
cares to admit. At various times she has vowed never to write another
word again. Ever. She has gone on writing strikes and even stooped to
threatening her manuscripts with the shredder.
