About
Rodney Rhoda Taylor
Inspired by Carrie Bradshaw, Rodney Rhoda Taylor returned to school to purse writing and eventually graduated with a degree in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. Unsure of what to do after graduating, after all who does know what to do with their degree, they meandered about their writing career aimlessly for the first year until a friend suggested they join a writing group that focused primarily on plays. Their writing career soon took off. They soon found themselves writing, producing, directing and acting in plays. They are the author of the short plays Eros, Poolside, Good-Bye Cupid, My Fairy Godmother, Baby Christina, Motherly Advice, and P.S. I Love You. Their play writing eventually led them to co-found Left Coast Theatre Co., an LGBTQ theater in San Francisco with Joe Frank. After taking a break from writing for a few years to focus on themselves, they resumed their writing career with the publication of their first book, a memoir, A Life in Letters, A story of resilience, sequence and hope. They are presently reside in the South, with their little chihuahua, Isabele, hoping one day Cupid will still pay them a visit. (Hopefully after a visit to the optometrist.)
