Liz Shine lives in Olympia, WA in the USA. She believes in the power of practice and has been practicing writing since some time in the early 90s when she became an adult in the rain-soaked, former logging city of Aberdeen. She writes mostly fiction, some nonfiction, and poetry, and holds an MFA from Pacific Lutheran University. She has published in Shark Reef, Dual Coast, and Blue Crow Magazine. When she isn’t writing or reading, she is teaching, getting outdoors, and in every way trying to be in the wonder of the moment. She is the proprietor of Red Dress Press and the author of Make Time, a blog encouraging herself and others to make time for creative work.
