Laura Walker

Laura Walker (she/her) holds an MFA from Northern Arizona University and currently lives and writes in Southern Utah, where it’s always raining someplace else. She has been teaching writing at the college level for more than fifteen years, most recently at a regional university, where she’s taught creative and academic courses. She believes that writing is both a gift and a craft, and loves helping students push their own boundaries and explore the possibility of the written word. She particularly enjoys working with students who lack experience with their writing, helping them to build confidence, and helping more experienced writers view their own work through a beginner’s mind. Laura recently finished her first novel draft and is currently working on a poetry manuscript. Her work is featured or forthcoming in Zone 3 Literary Journal, Cathexis Northwest, The Horror Is Us (an anthology from Mason Jar Press), and elsewhere.
