Lynne Kolze (she/her) grew up in suburban Chicago but now lives close to the Mississippi River in St, Paul. Before writing non-fiction, she earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of Wisconsin and a master’s degree in public affairs from Indiana University. Lynne’s guiding passions in life have been environmental protection and public service, beginning her career at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and later working for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Lynne wrote, Please Write, because she has always believed that handwritten letters are one of the most authentic, joyful, and remarkable gifts one person can give to another. She hopes to inspire a revival in this creative and loving art form, especially because technology, isolation and loneliness have created a hunger for meaningful connections more than ever before.
