Heather Sappenfield

I just completed my MFA at Pacific University, where I studied with John Rember, Pete Fromm, and Bonnie Jo Campbell. In 2011, my fiction has won the Tampa Review‘s Danahy Fiction Prize, been the Honorable Mention in the Bear Deluxe’s Doug Fir Fiction Award, and was a finalist for the Tennessee Williams Fiction Prize and The Arthur Edelstein Prize for Short Fiction. I also write non-fiction, and you can find my work in Mountain Flyer, Mountain House & Home, and Better Homes & Gardens. I live in the heart of the Colorado Rockies with my husband, daughter, and all the wild animals on the mountain behind my house.
