The First Story
Nan became interested in writing during the third grade, when she read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. According to Nan, “My nose was always in a book and the public library was my retreat, my second home.
That’s why I do a lot of volunteer work for the public library today. I took journalism in high school and in college as well as creative writing classes.
The first story I ever sold was to a magazine. It was a profile of a young gymkhana champion. I’m still doing profiles.”
