Description: Joanna Manning's personal archive and family history investigations
Welcome. Thank you for visiting and for taking an interest in my work.
I am a graduate of Syracuse University and the Rainier Writing Workshop, where I earned an MFA in creative nonfiction after coming to the realization that I have no talent for writing fiction.
My columns have appeared in the Tacoma News Tribune , and my essays have been featured in a number of national literary magazines. Most of my work can be accessed through the links below.
