Before & After You & Me Featured in Pine Reads Review!

"Reading Before & After You & Me felt like reading a beautiful poem; Woodburn has a way of expressing color, emotions, and experiences on blank pages with only her words as her medium. The similes and symbolism throughout the novel mirror the brush strokes on Emma’s canvases, which made me appreciate the growth of each character, especially Emma, as she learns to embrace the changes in her life rather than villainize them. When I started reading Before & After You & Me, I had no idea of the depth and emotions and self-discovery I was about to explore, but, looking back, I wish I could read it for the first time again."

5-Star Review for Before & After on Indies Today!

"If you want to get swept up in the novelty of first love and be struck by what comes after, grab a copy of this book and prepare to get completely lost in a compelling story of contrasts. A novel with enough heart to fill an entire bookshelf, Dallas Woodburn’s writing takes readers on a journey that is sometimes sweet, sometimes heartbreaking, but always engaging and impossible to set aside."

Essay Published on Brevity Blog

I’m honored to have an essay up on the Brevity Blog about my writing process, particularly in birthing short stories and essays, and how it often feels like I am communing with ghosts. Does writing ever feel that way to you? An act of preservation? Not a want, but a need?
