Stacy Sullivan

I went to the readings at the Galloway mansion and I really enjoyed it. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it, but I caught myself really enjoying listening. To start off, I will talk about Stacy Sullivan. Stacy Sullivan is an editor at the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, a non-profit organization that trains journalists in countries recovering from war. In addition to Newsweek, her articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Republic, The Washington Post, Men's Journal, and others. She lives in New York City. As I listened to her read from her book, all the things that we had discussed in class fell in to place. I thought it was really cool that as she spoke of Kosivo and Milosivic, that I actually knew what she was talking about. I was sitting in that beautiful room thinking, how cool would it be to write a book. For what I have to say to matter, would open up a whole new world. I really admired her particularly because she was so engaged in her story. She witnessed it first hand. I think that is really cool. Not only that, but at the interview today she was so humble about her publications and her success.
