Vanessa Lopez
Vanessa Lopez was born in Miami, Florida and now lives in New York, pursuing "the dream" as so many New York transplants are wont to do. Though she's not entirely sure what "the dream" is, she hopes it's not the one where she is chased by a mob of angry church parishioners after she suggests Tito Puente lead the choir. Having done the starving writer thing for a while, she's now attempting the transition to successful writer and is therefore the eager recipient of rejection letters from major publications nationwide. Thus far, her works have been rejected by such powerhouse institutions as Time Magazine. She remains in the midst of obtaining an MA degree in literature from Hunter College, while studying creative writing in her free time as a non-matriculated student at NYU.
