Born in LA, Jane Rosenberg LaForge studied political science at UCLA and creative writing in the Kate Braverman workshops of the 1990s. She earned her MFA at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where was awarded a Delaney Fellowship for Women Writers. A former journalist and English adjunct, she now lives in New York. Throughout the last decade, Jane has published many works, including An Unsuitable Princess: A True Fantasy/ A Fantastical Memoir, which Reader’s Digest called “one of the most inventive books in recent years." Her short fiction and poetry have been widely published, nominated for several awards, and her 2012 chapbook of poems, The Navigation of Loss, was one of three winners of the Red Ochre Lit chapbook prize.
