Author's Bio

Angie is a short story writer, novelist, and screenwriter who grew up in the Ozarks region of Missouri, and after some time living on the east coast, she now resides in Portland, Oregon. Many of her stories explore contemporary themes of identity, isolation, and helplessness of Midwestern, the Plains, and other rural regions. She is the award-winning screenwriter and director behind “Redmonton,” a web series inspired by her hometown, and has published her work in various literary journals including Carve Magazine, Adelaide Literary Magazine, Stirring, and The Summerset Review. Angie has been accepted into limited fiction workshops and residencies in recent years, including the Southampton Writers Conference (2017, hosted by Stonybrook University), Cambridge Writers' Workshop Spring in Portland Writing Retreat (2017), and the LitFest Fiction Intensive Workshops (2019, hosted by the Lighthouse Writers Workshop).
