Janet Rich Edwards

Janet Rich Edwards is a graduate of GrubStreet’s yearlong, MFA-level Novel Incubator program. A professor of epidemiology at Harvard, Janet had written more than 300 papers for scientific journals, but she was left wondering if she could convey more truth, or at least different truths, through story. When she’s not sneaking hours to write fiction, Janet is researching facts about women’s health. She lives outside of Boston with her husband and never more than two cats. CANTICLE is her first novel.
