Essays about my dysfunctional family and my often fabulous gay father, coming out as a writer, depression, working a 12-Step program for recovery from disordered thinking and eating. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad. It's all me.
“Nan is an unflinching writer whose authenticity powers every piece. Her vulnerability and humor make her relatable and inspirational. I have no doubt that she helps many people through her writing. ”
Chris Stanton, Stantonland
“Nan's prose is a delight to read...her voice is strong and true regardless of the topic. She brings insight, humor, intelligence, class and sass in all the right measures. Literary chef's kiss!”
Eileen Dougharty, You're Right, I Do Look Tired
“Nan’s writing gets better and better. She doesn’t duck the hard stuff. She isn’t afraid to explore the difficult parts of her life and the painful truths about herself, and in the process, she finds herself changing. Hers is an authentic, vulnerable and honest voice we can learn from. I highly recommend Nan’s The Next Write Thing.”
