Nancy Nordenson

On the creative side of things, I am a graduate of Seattle Pacific University's MFA in Creative Writing program and author of Just Think: Nourish Your Mind to Feed Your Soul (Baker, 2004). My work has received "notable" recognition in Best Spiritual Writing 2012, Best Spiritual Writing 2013, Best American Essays 2010, and Best American Essays 2010, as well as multiple Pushcart nominations, and has appeared in Indiana Review, Harpur Palate, Comment, Under the Sun, Saint Katherine Review, Relief, Lake Effect and Desert Call. My work has also been anthologized in The Spirit of Food: 34 Writers on Feasting and Fasting Toward God, edited by Leslie Leyland Fields (Cascade Press, 2010), and Becoming: What Makes a Woman, edited by Jill McCabe Johnson (University of Nebraska Gender Studies Program, 2012). Additional work is forthcoming in Harvard Divinity Bulletin.

On the medical side, with more than 16 years of experience, I write for a variety of venues including continuing medical education, journals, legal reference books, corporate advisory groups, and national and international medical symposia. With undergraduate work in biology and chemistry and postgraduate work in medical technology, I hold certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology.

I am a member of the Authors Guild, the Loft Literary Center, the American Society for Clinical Pathology, and the American Medical Writers Association. My husband and I have two sons and live in Minneapolis.
