1926-2014

Elise Sanguinetti, raised in Anniston, Alabama, had a familial connection to the realm of journalism through her father's influential role at The Anniston Star. Her passion for writing emerged during her time at Ashley Hall, a boarding school in South Carolina, where she actively contributed to the school's literary magazine. After completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama under the mentorship of Hudson Strode and collaborating with Harper Lee on The Rammer-Jammer, the university's humor magazine, Sanguinetti embarked on a successful career as a novelist and short story writer. In addition to her literary pursuits, she assumed leadership responsibilities in the family publishing business and, in collaboration with her brother, established a nonprofit foundation to oversee The Anniston Star and develop a graduate program in community journalism in partnership with the University of Alabama.
