Helen Bonner

Bemidji State University
Professor of English/Creative Writing

Helen Bonner, Ph.D. received her Master's degree in Creative Writing from California State University at Sacramento, then continued on to receive her Doctorate in Film Theory, Writing and Technique, at Ohio University. She has also done post-Doctoral work in Sreenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has composed numerous types of work from a screenplay, A Higher Loyalty, to a stage play, Mary's House, to a novel, The Laid Daughter (pictured below), as well as several video productions and numerous short stories.

"Bonner's The Laid Daughter : A True Story, is compelling, horrifying, and, in the the end, illuminating. Bonner takes us on a grim trip through her childhood incest experiences as they are revealed to her through psychotherapy and the clues in her own journals. We come out having seen hell and fearing it less because we've survived." (The Pioneer, Bemidji, MN. 9/13/95 by Louise Mengelkoch)
