Nancy Chadwick

Nancy Chadwick grew up in a northern suburb of Chicago where Deerfield was marked by four corners, and making connections to it and to home would later become subjects in her writing. She got her first job at Leo Burnett advertising agency in Chicago and after a decade moved to international corporate banking. Nancy’s writing inspiration comes from her years living in Chicago and San Francisco, and meandering through the woods of any forest. Her memoir, Under the Birch Tree, and her debut novel, The Wisdom Of The Willow, are published by She Writes Press. Her essays have appeared in The Magic of Memoir: Inspiration for the Writing Journey, Adelaide Literary Magazine, and blogs by the Chicago Writers Association Write City, About Write, and Brevity.
