Jeanie Pyun and Wendy Paris
This regular Paragraph reading series features the writing of its members. Join us this month for some inspired writing by Jeanie Pyun and Wendy Paris. Free and open to the public.
Jeanie Pyun has been the editor of Organic Style and Livingroom and the co-editor of Instyle Home. She's worked in assorted editorial capacities at Vanity Fair, Details and Mademoiselle and has written for various other publications. She is currently writing a sci-fi novel, which is turning out to be quite a bit harder than anything she's attempted before, especially, as she says, "the daily duties at her day job stump her, and her colleagues and staff continue to be fictionally and completely intractable." She lives in Manhattan and wants you to know that she loves Paragraph.
Wendy Paris is a freelance writer. She is currently writing personal essays and finishing her MFA in nonfiction creative writing at Columbia University's School of the Arts. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, Self, The Forward, Wine Spectator, Family Circle and on NPR. As a freelance journalist, she has contributed to Marketplace Radio, Fitness, Conde Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure, among other publications. She is the co-author of a book on weddings and the author of a book of dating advice based on fairy tales--tips she insists work in the real world.
