The Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park Announces New Writer in Residence, 2023-2024
The Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park is pleased to announce that Scott Nations will serve as the Foundation’s newest Writer-in-Residence (WIR). During his 2023-2024 term, Scott will assist in advancing the foundations mission through both traditional media and social platforms, support the development of our educational programming, and mentorship of our student scholarship recipients. He will also enjoy the opportunity to continue his work in the dedicated writing space of the Hemingway Birthplace Museum.
Scott Nations is the President of Nations Indexes, Inc., and a best-selling author. Scott has also spent more than a decade as a contributor to CNBC and regularly appears on-air to discuss markets, current economic events, and the outlook for a variety of financial vehicles. In the fiction space, Scott is the author of The Imperative, a novel due to be published in early 2024. During his time as WIR, he will be working on his next nonfiction project which is a history of the American stock market. His previous works include:
The Anxious Investor – Mastering the Mental Game of Investing (HarperCollins/April 2022).
A History of the United States in Five Crashes, a general interest history of the five modern stock market crashes (HarperCollins/June 2017).
The Complete Book of Option Spreads and Combinations (Wiley & Sons/October 2014).
Options Math for Traders (Wiley & Sons/2012).
“Our Writer in Residence program continues to be a fundamental mainstay in fulfilling our mission,” John Berry, Foundation Chairman, said. “Scott brings a robust combination of presence and passion to this position; we strongly believe he possesses the experience to make real impact for the foundation and community at large.”
Scott is a graduate of the University of Kansas. He and his wife Wendi have lived in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago for twenty-nine years.
“Ernest Hemingway introduced a simple, direct, more natural style of writing; in many ways it’s a more ‘American’ style of writing. I look forward to sharing his style with new generations of readers through the foundation’s work.” Nations said.
