Hello, my name is Isabel Azar, and I do indeed share my birthday with Shakespeare, a.k.a. 'The Bard' (April 23rd). I've been a bookworm and a writer since I was little; my first word was 'books, books, books.' My passion for Shakespeare's plays (and the works of other classic authors) has powered my academic pursuits; I hold a BA in English and a BA in Theatre from Samford University, an MA from The Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon, and an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. Currently I'm completing a PhD in English at the University of York. Whether you're struggling to write a paper on Othello or giving a class presentation on a Restoration comedy, look no further -- I'm here to help.
