Small Admissions by Amy Poeppel7/3/2023 You can read an interview with Amy on Authors Answer. Amy’s writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Rumpus, LitHub, Working Mother, Points In Case, and The Belladonna. Her friends don’t know what to do other than pass tissues and hope for a comeback, while. After being dumped by her handsome, French almost fiance, she abandons her grad school plans and spends her days lolling on the couch, leaving her apartment only when a dog-walking gig demands it. Amy is the author of The Sweet Spot, Musical Chairs, Limelight, and Small Admissions. Despite her innate ambition and Summa Cum Laude smarts, Kate Pearson has turned into a major slacker. She attended sessions at the Actors Studio Playwrights/Directors Unit and wrote the theatrical version of Small Admissions, which was performed there as a staged reading in 2011. Amy taught high school English in the Washington, DC suburbs, and after moving to New York, she worked as an assistant director of admissions at an independent school where she had the fulfilling experience of meeting and getting to know hundreds of applicant families. For the past thirty years, they have lived in many cities, including San Francisco, Berlin, and New York, and had three sons along the way. She is married to David Poeppel, a neuroscientist at NYU and Director of the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt. She graduated from Wellesley College and worked as an actress in the Boston area, appearing in a corporate industrial for Polaroid, a commercial for Brooks Pharmacy, and a truly terrible episode of America’s Most Wanted, along with other TV spots and several plays.
