Emily Rinkema

Emily Rinkema lives and writes in northern Vermont, USA. She has written about education for years, but has now shifted almost entirely to writing short fiction, partly as a way to escape the world, and partly as a way to understand it. Her stories have recently appeared in Fictive Dream, Variant Lit, Flash Frog, Ghost Parachute, and Wigleaf, and she won the 2024 Cambridge Prize and the 2024 Lascaux Prize for flash fiction. When not writing or working, she enjoys spending time with Bill, her husband; Chet, her dog; and Jack Reacher the Cat.
