Bio
Molly Beer’s work as a nonfiction writer/journalist and international teacher has led her to Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and elsewhere. But her debut book is a homecoming, both to the U.S. and to her rural American hometown of Angelica, New York.
In writing the life of the “amiable” and ambitious Angelica Schuyler Church, Molly Beer set out to tell the U.S. origin story from the perspective of a woman situated at the heart of the American Revolution and the founding era.
Molly Beer has served as an Olive B. O’Connor Fellow in Creative Writing at Colgate University and currently teaches at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
