Melissa Pritchard is an American short story writer, novelist, essayist, and journalist.
Romance novels satisfy a very specific fantasy of romantic love that seems to be a powerful part of the female psyche.
All great literature has an uncreeded and luminous theology behind it. . . Art [is] a form of active prayer.
I believe all stories are love stories, and there are kinds and kinds of love, so I will always write about love, but not necessarily romance.
In death, as in sleep, I am all things.
A real love story is sometimes exhausting. A romance is deliberately constructed to yield a certain result; the ambiguities are trimmed out, so it's neater and more pleasing to our hearts. But you don't live a love story, you live a life.
