Melissa Brennan

At heart, I am a storyteller. I like exploring the stories we tell ourselves: who we are, who we think we are, where we come from, how we got here, what shaped us and who we hope to become.

I host writing workshops because I believe our stories are at the root of connection. Writing is an art, and art will always be important.

I am a native New Englander currently living in Washington DC. I’m an alumni of Purchase College SUNY’s creative writing program and the University of Maryland’s iSchool. I currently publish on Substack at melissabrennan.substack.com. I have previously received the Denis Diderot AIR grant to attend the artist’s residency at Château Orquevaux in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France.
