Vanessa Carlisle’s writing is grounded in her loves: revolutionary artists and thinkers, old libraries, motley cities, living bodies—all complex, dangerous, gorgeous, curious. She writes essays, articles, short stories, flash fiction, and has completed her first novel, A Crack in Everything.
Vanessa co-authored I Was My Mother’s Bridesmaid: Young Adults Talk About Thriving in a Blended Family (Wildcat Canyon Press, 1999) with her sister Erica Carlisle. Vanessa’s work has appeared in magazines including Rails to Trails Magazine, NinthLetter, WordRiot, Juked, Boink Magazine, The Catalyst, and others. Her work has also appeared in Random Acts of Kindness (Conari), GirlWise by Julia DeVillers (Random House), and Boink: The Book (Warner Books).
Vanessa regularly posts short essays to her popular blog site, Gorgeous Curiosity, on topics ranging from Bruce Springsteen to the Museum of Jurassic Technology, from directing a summer camp to winning a burlesque competition, from traveling in Italy to watching Star Wars at home.
