Thanks to my friend Nancy Jesse, a poet and short stories writer, I discovered the world of creative non-fiction. I learned to write from award-winning memoirists Beth Finke, David W. Berner, and Anette Gendler. I workshopped memoir pieces with Marion Roach Smith, Lily Danciger, and Mary Kay Shanley. Producer Rhonda J. Miller taught me the art of the interview. I have Iowa Summer Writing Festival, Off-Campus Writing Workshops, Story Studio Chicago, Creative Nonfiction Foundation, Chicago Writers Association, American Writers Museum, and Pink Pangea to thank for continuously developing my writing skills.
As of recently, I started teaching memoir writing in my community.
Thank you for being here,
