Mel Henderson has taught writing as a graduate student at Brigham Young University since 2012, and she will earn her MFA in Creative Nonfiction in 2016. Her Master’s thesis is a collection of essays entitled Animal Mothers: On the Primitive, Fierce, Humanizing Practice of Nurture. Her current projects include the memoir of an Iranian fugitive and immigrant, co-writing an independent film, and a children’s book commissioned to feature in the film. Mel lives in Provo, Utah, with her husband, children, four cats (quite by accident), and one small, socially maladjusted dog.
