Nancy Strauss
Nancy Strauss spends her mornings writing fiction, and then makes a living as a new media consultant, advising corporations on online communities, online communication, and website user experience. She learned about the Internet while working for Ciao, a German-based online media and research company with Europe's largest consumer community and proprietary survey panels in twenty-four countries. There, she headed the community management team, and subsequently built and managed the company's translation and quality assurance teams. In her "free moments," she is laying the groundwork for her own Internet startup, a translation agency that will use proprietary technology to connect a team of translators, editors, and quality managers all over the world.
A Cincinnati native, Strauss graduated from Oberlin College and received an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where she studied on a Colby Fellowship. Since then, she lived briefly in the Czech Republic and has been living for the last nine years in Spain.
