After graduating from the University of Southern California with a combined degree in English and psychology, Nancy Fasules worked as a copywriter at McCann Erickson for three years.

She then began a career as a lyricist. Over the years, her songs have been published by CBS, A&M, Virgin and Criterion publishing companies and recorded for feature films, television and record albums. She also writes essays which have appeared in LA Weekly and Skirt magazine, and recently completed a screenplay, for New Line Cinema.

Nancy's other passion is teaching. She has created a writing curriculum for Johns Hopkins University, leads writing seminars for teachers, and teaches creative writing.

She lives in Los Angeles with her five year old son.
