About Me

Atlanta, Georgia, United States
My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

You know you've gone underground when...


You know you've gone underground when you get a twitter message asking why you haven't been in the twittersphere. Wait - I'm so susceptible to opinion that twitter can make me feel guilty?

Here's some of what's been cranking out of Timely Manor - a piece for the ever entertaining Pop Matters. More work coming in The Writer in December.

Other news from Timely Manor --- am successfully not eating the Halloween candy lurking in the pantry. Am packing for two different Invisible Sisters related trips this month; the brain-impressive NonfictioNow Conference in Iowa City next week, and the I'm so excited about this I can barely imagine in Oxford Creative Nonfiction Conference in Mississippi the week after that.

PS Don't forget to VOTE on Tuesday!
