I found out today that one of my stories was short-listed for the Fine Line Short Story Competition prize, sponsored by The Fine Line Editorial Consultancy , based in Edinburgh. Congratulations to the winners and fellow finalists!
I am a writer of fiction and essays with an abiding interest in literature by and about women. My work has been nominated for inclusion in the Best New American Voices anthology, a Pushcart Prize, a four-time finalist in the FENCE/Summer Literary Seminars annual contest, and has been featured in Quick Fiction, City Arts Magazine, Hoarse Quarterly, Pacifica Literary Review, District, & Wigleaf. In August, I left Seattle for Wyoming with the goal of finishing my novel. Please feel free to contact me at kirstenruewrites@gmail.com.
