About Johannah Haney Featured Excerpt

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University, where my English major coursework focused on writing.

After a few post-college years working in Ohio, I moved to Boston and earned my Master’s in Publishing & Writing from Emerson College. My coursework at Emerson focused on nonfiction writing, as well as the business of book publishing and magazine writing. My thesis was a nonfiction book proposal with several sample chapters.
