You can’t make this sh*t up
Annie Lampman, UI MFA Alumn, discusses her first published novel and its heavy themes
Annie Lampman’s fictional writing career began far before she decided to sit down in 2007 and dedicate herself to the completion of her literary thriller “The Sins of the Bees”. Writing her whole life, Lampman graduated from Lewis and Clark State College and moved on to her Vandal career to receive her Master of Fine Arts in creative non-fiction.Lampman originally selected UI because she wanted to work with Kim Barnes, a professor of non-fiction writing, but upon learning she was no longer teaching at UI at the time she began to question her path.
