Creativity Portal's 'Jennie Nash Bash'
By Chris Dunmire, Publisher
Here's to a flurry of fun in February!
In addition to our 365 Pictures readying for launch, we're also co-sponsoring an essay writing event, My Own True Genius, with author Jennie Nash in celebration of her new novel The Only True Genius in the Family.
Jennie Nash is author of the memoir The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming and Other Lessons I Learned From Breast Cancer and the novel The Last Beach Bungalow. She is an instructor at the UCLA Extension Writers' Program, and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two teenage daughters. Learn more at www.jennienash.com.
Thanks to the rich creative collaboration between Jennie Nash and our own multi-talented columnist Molly Anderson-Childers, you'll enjoy more Nash-Bash features in the coming weeks, including the chance to participate in a Live Book Club Event with the author!
The fun kicks off now with Molly's Multicultural Muses column, The Story as Muse and a special gift that she, Jennie, and myself created for you: A one-of-a-kind Creative License for you to print, frame, and enjoy!
