What does that look like? Like, what kind of courses are you taking, and do you think it helped you build a foundation for where you are right now?

It's a good question.

So, um, I went to school in Toronto.

I went to U of T for English.

Eng- English literature was my main, um, sort of major, and I took a lot of lit courses that are focused on, you know, like, Can Lit and, um, you know, 1800s literature and, like, there's a lot of prerequisites to getting the degree that you have to take certain kinds of courses, or, like, Chaucer.

I have took a whole year-long course on Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales.

And I don't know if I would say it helped [laughs] me write a romance novel, a very commercial fiction.

Who is Noelle, and what was it like to receive that initial feedback on your first book?
