McNeeley (Neeley for short) Ann Moore is a New York-based writer and educator from East Tennessee. She received her BA in English literature with a minor in ESL education from The University of Tennessee and her masters in curriculum and teaching from Teachers College at Columbia University. In 2021-22, she completed a Fulbright grant to Romania where she taught college level classes and wrote a lot while looking out the windows of trains across Eastern Europe.
Neeley’s writing seeks to explore the themes of growing up, womanhood, and faith. More realistically, she spends her time trying to find the right words to talk about the world around her and the pursuit of all things good, beautiful, and true. Her goal in both her career and her life is to find ways to tell good stories and educate others through the creative arts.
