About Vera Caccioppoli
"A writer will do well to train her ear to hear the silence between words,
to know that what goes unsaid can be far more revealing than anything that can
be said."
—Vera Caccioppoli
Vera Caccioppoli, MFA, has written and published fiction, poetry, screenplays, newspaper and magazine articles, and personal essays since she was fourteen and received her first handwritten rejection letter from Michael Curtis, the fiction editor of The Atlantic Monthly. (It would be many years later, when playing poker with Mr. Curtis, that Vera would remind the editor of his rejection letter to her, quoting it from memory.)
A native of Cliffside Park, New Jersey, Vera earned her MFA in Creative Writing from the George Mason University writing program, where she also was awarded a full fellowship and taught creative writing, literature, and composition for many years.
Her writing, which has earned the prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award, has been published in the Washington Post, Shape magazine, and has been broadcast on National Public Radio.
Vera was an Executive Producer for the 2001 independent film, Losing Hope. She has optioned two screenplays to Hollywood. Her screenplays have won numerous screenwriting awards at film festivals around the country, including the 2007 WorldFest International Houston Film Festival.
At the 2007 Oscars, Vera was busy pitching ideas at the Entertainment Weekly Oscar party for Vice President Al Gore hosted by Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas—although she made time to attend the Independent Film Awards on the beach.
In 2004, Vera founded the renowned Hi-Way Haven: A Place for Writers, in Encinitas, California.
