Lynn Cohen
by Jim Benning | 07.13.06 | 10:53 PM ET
Lynn Cohen has lived a peripatetic 46 years. Born in Wisconsin, she has received birthday cards from her mother in Jerusalem, Boston, Baltimore, Vermont, New Hampshire and California. As a teenager, she depleted five Bic pens filling two spiral bound notebooks with her first novel of unrequited love between a music student and her professor. She also typed a painfully detailed memoir about unrequited love between herself and a camp counselor, using an electric Remington whose correction tape was broken. Both of these early works, as well as various short stories and other confessional fiction, are safely hidden away in some box. Years later, Cohen discovered word processing and has since filled other boxes with essays, poems, book reviews and short stories. A novel depicting the human toll wrought by the Israeli occupation is waiting very, very patiently for a publishing home. Meanwhile, she is working on a second novel. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Amelia, Oberon Poetry Journal, Peregrine, and Early Childhood Magazine.

Tina Barseghian

Tina Barseghian is an Oakland-based freelance writer. For many years, she worked as a staff editor at a now-defunct travel pub, where her beat included the Pacific Rim, typically from the lofty view of first class. Now as a mere mortal, she still travels a lot, both for work and for leisure, but now in the plebian world of coach, and typically with her 3-year-old daughter. She has written for the Wall St. Journal, San Francisco Examiner, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel and Texas Monthly. She is an editor at ReadyMade Magazine and is finishing a book about hobbies that will be published by Harper Collins next year.
