Kelly Spitzer migrated from the mountain desert of southwest Colorado to the perpetually soggy lowlands of the Pacific Northwest in 1998. In 2001, she received her B.A. in political economy from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. While at Evergreen, Kelly published articles in The Cooper Point Journal, Works in Progress, and New Courier. During her last trimester, she designed an independent learning project centered on fiction techniques, and completed a rough draft of a novel. From there, instead of going on to law school as planned, she continued writing.

To date, her fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Hayden’s Ferry Review, Keyhole Magazine, Storyglossia, The Cream City Review, Redivider, The Binnacle, Hobart (web), Vestal Review, and elsewhere. You can find her interviews at Bookslut, Quick Fiction, Juked, 3:AM Magazine and here on her website under The Writer Profile Project. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee, and is currently working as a freelance writer and a real estate agent.
