Profile bio
About Barbara Krasner
PASSIONATE ABOUT WRITING AND HISTORYI first fell in love with history in the fourth grade in my hometown of Kearny, New Jersey. Our class had to write about our town's future or past to help celebrate it's centennial. I went to the library, specifically to the Kearny Room, and found all sorts of facts that titillated me. But that year, too, we began academic study of history and I couldn't get enough of it. A love of language soon followed and by the time I finished high school, my favorite subjects were German, Russian, and History.While I played around with creative writing and journalism (I started my own newspaper in middle school and wrote short stories while I should have been studying for the SATs), writing (in English) came much later. I entered the publishing industry upon graduation with my B.A. in German and began to write copy.Eventually, I went on to get my M.B.A. in Marketing and left publishing for the big bucks and the more convenient commute the telecommunications industry offered. But I found myself wanting more, something to satisfy me personally. And that brought me back to language and history. I began to write and speak about genealogy and Kearny history. I earned an M.F.A. from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. I left Corporate America and while I continue to dabble in corporate writing to pay the bills, creative writing is what energizes me. I love to bring that energy to young writers at the university level as well as to others in workshops and conferences.My objectives are to: ► Nurture others in the craft of creative writing, particularly Jewish-themed writing.► Use my distinctive skills to tell stories not yet told► Engage other writers in communityMy writing focuses on history:► New Jersey history► American history► Jewish history, especially The Holocaust ► ImmigrationSee my other LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/barbarakrasner/ for my corporate marketing details.
