Tinker, in her own words:
“I’m a storyteller, a shape-shifter, a dowser. As an author and screenwriter, I search for the places that resonate, whatever the medium, whomever the creator. I write solo, and also collaborate on scripts, novels, personal essays, memoirs, business plans. Hell, I’ll edit fortune cookies, should that need ever arise. My goal as a writer is to tell the truth. My goal as consultant and conceptual editor is to help shape fellow writers’ ideas into persuasive prose without losing their vision or voice. I believe the collaborative process should be as enriching as the end product is satisfying. Skill and concentration are great, but humor’s what lightens the load in the wee hours.”
