Lili Wright spent a decade as a journalist before enrolling in Columbia University's MFA program in nonfiction. While she was still writing nonfiction, her work appeared in The New York Times, Esquire, Newsweek, the Chicago Tribune, and the Baltimore Sun. Learning to Float, her memoir of a trip from Maine to Key West, was included on The Washington Post's best summer reads list. Dancing with the Tiger took her five years and thirty drafts.
