Introduction Jennifer S. Brown is the author of the novel MODERN GIRLS (NAL/Penguin, April 2016). She has published fiction and creative nonfiction in Fiction Southeast, The Best Women’s Travel Writing, The Southeast Review, The Sierra Nevada Review, and Bellevue Literary Review, among other places. Her essay “The Codeine of Jordan” was selected as a notable essay in 2012’s The Best American Travel Writing. Jennifer has a BFA in film and television from New York University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington, Seattle. This makes her uniquely suited to write film reviews, which would be great if she hadn’t stopped going to the movies when her kids were born. Jennifer grew up in Miami Beach, Florida, which makes people question, every winter, what she’s doing in New England. However, she finds Boston winters fabulous for writing and she’s developed a love of snow shoeing.
