Writing

Paula K. Read is a writer, translator and screenwriter.

My fiction and non-fiction has been published in numerous literary and online journals, and I’ve been the recipient of several national arts grants.

My pieces on feminist and environmental issues offer unique and unusual perspectives on a variety of topics. As panelist at the 2018 Geneva Writers Conference, I discussed writing to make a difference and how writers can become activists on the page. I reflect on the rewards and frustrations of using writing to try to alter awareness, both of oneself and of others.

Strangest thing I’ve ever written: A complete German-English dictionary for film and television. It went into six editions, and I’ll never do it again.
