An Interview with Emily Rinkema
Manage episode 485230798 series 3560130
Tim and Art are joined in the corner booth by author Emily Rinkema for a lively discussion of how to create memorable flash fiction.
Emily Rinkema lives and writes in northern Vermont. For her real job, she works as a district curriculum and instruction leader, supporting and facilitating professional learning for teachers and administrators. She has written about education for years, but has now shifted almost entirely to writing fiction. Her stories have recently appeared in SmokeLong Quarterly, Variant Lit, Flash Frog, Fictive Dream, Ghost Parachute, and Wigleaf, and she won the 2024 Cambridge Prize and the 2024 Lascaux Prize for flash fiction. She’s been nominated for Best Short Fictions and the Pushcart Prize, but has never been published in (or even had a tiered rejection from) HAD. When not writing or working, she enjoys spending time with Bill, her husband; Chet, her dog; and Jack Reacher the Cat.
