Helen Kantor

Helen Kantor ignored her father who told her not to tell stories, and listened to her mother who told her intelligence isn't what you know, it's what you do with what you know. What she's done: taught graduate and undergraduate writing courses, coached writers to develop their craft, and harnessed storytelling to develop social media and win grants for nonprofits and universities. With the release of her debut novel, REMODELING EVE, Helen Kantor braids a narrative of mother around daughter as the events of a kitchen remodel transform both of their worlds. She holds an MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA, a BA from UC Santa Cruz, and she lives in the Los Angeles area.
