About Martha Humphreys
Martha Humphreys began to write seriously in the 1970s, a few years before a diagnosis of MS forced her to retire from her position as a Speech and English professor at Alabama A&M University. She continued to write while teaching part-time at the University of Alabama in Huntsville for an additional four years. Since retiring from both, she has written full-time and achieved some success. Three YA novels were published and translated into several languages. (She was then represented by Kidde, Hoyt and Picard Literary Agency, which is now out of business.) She has had twenty-four productions of plays, including full productions and staged readings. Several other plays have won or placed in national contests. Early in her career she sold articles and stories to confession, travel and religious magazines. Specifics about all areas are available on request.
