Athena Goodman was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was brought to Boston, MA, a couple weeks after the infamous blizzard of ‘78. By the age of nine, she had discovered a misunderstood passion in her heart to write words that would impact the world. Her arrival to the quaint, yet sedate Boston town had given her many opportunities over the years to carve out the beginnings of this fragile destiny. Goodman's writing career began as a feature story writer in high school where her first story appeared in the Harvard Gazette. In Virginia, she wrote for the Sundial Newspaper at a boarding college then named Randolph-Macon Women’s College. Later, she attended Radcliff College where she took graduate writing and editing classes then went to Harvard University, where her love for children’s literature was developed. Harvard’s Women’s Society later gave her the opportunity to recite the first poem she had ever written at age nine entitled “Smile.” Throughout the years, she had written many other poems, some of which were published in National Anthologies. Her Children's fictional writing included a play called “A Thanksgiving to Remember,” which she wrote overnight for her Sunday school class that she produced, directed and choreographed in 1999 with a cast of over 21 children and one adult. In 2003, she received an honorable mention for her children’s story as a first time conferee and current member of St. David’s Christian Writers Conference.
