Michelle Collins Anderson

Michelle Collins Anderson grew up on a farm in the Missouri Ozarks — a place and a way of life that has shaped her writing. She received her MFA in Fiction from Warren Wilson College and has a journalism degree from the University of Missouri. Her short fiction has appeared in Nimrod International Journal #37 Awards Edition, Literal Latté, Midwestern Gothic, bosque, The Lascaux Review, Pooled Ink, Literary Mama, The Green Hills Literary Lantern and The Sulphur River Literary Review. Michelle has been an adjunct professor at the University of Missouri and Stephens College, taught creative writing at her local elementary school, and serves on the board of The Missouri Review. She and her husband have three adult children and live in a 1907 brick row house in St. Louis, Missouri, with two sister cats and a rambunctious border collie.
