Writers' Voices with Monica and Caroline welcomes Jennie Rothenberg-Gritz home to Fairfield and to KRUU-FM this Friday at 1 p.m.

Jennie Rothenberg-Gritz moved to Fairfield at the age of six and is an alumna of both Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment and Maharishi University of Management. She earned her masters degree in journalism from UC Berkeley in 2002 and went on to internships at Time Out London and The Atlantic Monthly. She spent two years as senior editor at Moment, a national magazine founded by Elie Wiesel, before joining the Atlantic Monthly staff full time. She is currently one of two editors responsible for all web content at The Atlantic online.

Jennie's writing has appeared in a number of publications including The Chicago Tribune, The Oakland Tribune, Hadassah Magazine, and the Welsh journal Consciousness, Literature, and the Arts. An essay she wrote about a night in an Arab village in Israel appeared in The Kindness of Strangers, a Lonely Planet travel writing anthology.
