Episode description
Nell Whitehead lives in Wake Forest, North Carolina. She has been writing or teaching writing since childhood. Her family was her first audience when at age 12 she wrote a Fractured Fairy Tale Christmas, performed by nieces and nephews, and received with wild acclaim. As a Language Arts teacher, she was part of the Capital Area Writing Project. In more recent times, a writing group in Carrboro created by Nancy Peacock has been the inspiration for short stories, memoirs, and two novels.
