Behind The Prose

Hello from Pittsburgh, PA! I'm way past my bedtime and I still have homework to do for Dinty W. Moore's Master Class at the Creative Nonfiction Writers Conference 2015. But the show must go on. And boy is it a show. Jennifer Niesslein, a founder of Brain, Child Magazine, discusses her latest venture, an online literary journal, Full Grown People and anthology of the same name. I interviewed on of Jennifer's essayists, Andrew Bomback in February, then pitched her myself. She accepted! In this interview, she explains how her life experiences fuel her entrepreneurial ventures and what makes a compelling essay about "the other awkward age." Plus, a Behind the Prose bonus interview with Alyssa Sorresso (the spelling of her name is so symmetrical; I love it) who had her first major break in the issue of Creative Nonfiction that hit the stands in June 2014. She's got great energy and I suspect it will ride the airwaves right to you if you need a boost.  ABOUT JENNIFER NIESSLEIN Jennifer is a writer and editor
