Linda Chavers’s Biography
Linda Chavers is a writer. After graduating magna cum laude from New York University (Gallatin School of Individualized Study) in 2004 she worked in journalism and publishing before earning her doctorate in African and African American Studies at Harvard University where she currently teaches as a lecturer. She grew up in Washington, DC and misses it dearly.
Chavers continues to write broadly in nonfiction, memoir and poetic prose form. She is currently working on a memoir and a novel. Both concern intergenerational trauma and the power of black mothers.
She lives in Chelsea, MA with her mother and her rambunctious West Highland Terrier, Biggie Smalls.
