Loretta Bolger Wish
Loretta Bolger Wish is the author of the fantasy novel Bumpy Night on the Walk of Fame, published by Uncial Press and nominated for Long and Short Reviews 2018 Book of the Year. She also writes plays, monologues, essays, magazine pieces, songs and poetry. A former newspaper reporter and State of New Jersey staff writer, she is currently a freelance writer and editorial consultant. She writes for the Huffington Post and has collaborated on textbooks and reference books. But she’ll tackle nearly any writing project in the name of fun, creative growth, worthy causes or bar bets. Movies have been one of her lifelong addictions; she is the author of the blog Hollywood Castaway and has curated exhibits on film and given presentations on writing and film. Her plays and other theater pieces have been featured in festivals, readings and radio and Zoom programs across the country. A Jersey shore resident, she co-moderates the Writers Room at the Princeton Public Library and plays guitar in a classic rock band, Rising Smoke, with her husband and frequent writing partner, Fred. In her next life, Loretta hopes Eve Arden will star in her film bio -- unless Bette Davis has already bought the rights or Thelma Ritter has already been attached to the project.
