Nerissa has hosted writing groups from her home in Northampton since 2003. The writing space is magical, as anyone who’s written there will tell you. The magic extends through the InterWebs while we must practice social distance. The community and inspiration are as strong as ever.
Nerissa Nields holds a BA from Yale University, having graduated cum laude with honors in English. She has taught Creative Writing and English at The Madeira School in McLean, VA and the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT. Since 2003, she has run writing groups for adults and youth out of her home in Northampton, MA. In addition, she has taught songwriting at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyon’s Colorado at their Song School. She has published a young adult novel, two works of non-fiction, and three books of poetry. She has written thousands of songs and recorded and released 20 albums worth, on major and independent labels. She is now at work on her MFA in Writing at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
