• NINA CAMP   Nina Camp lives in New York City, where she writes personal essays and vitamin catalogs. She also writes the chapters for her first novel which is currently much anticipated by Nina. Her recent publishing credits include a wildly successful and colorful magazine selling an herbal remedy for prostate enlargement, published by Best Life Herbals, and a personal essay about love and craziness in New York, published by White Whale Review. Another of Nina’s essays, about love and cupcakes in New York, attracted an encouraging form letter (“We remain interested in your work and would like to see more”) from The Paris Review.
