Rachael
Perry, a native of Michigan, finished her first collection
of stories, How to Fly, while working at a library in Düsseldorf,
Germany. Her stories are greatly influenced by her experiences
in small Midwestern towns, where everybody knows somebody who
knows somebody, and the natural splendor of all four seasons
and freshwater lakes shapes character like the glaciers once
shaped this land.
Her stories have appeared in StoryQuarterly, River City,
Hayden’s Ferry Review, South Dakota Review, Elysian
Fields Quarterly: The Baseball Review and other places,
and she has been nominated twice for Pushcart prizes. She
received
her B.A. in journalism from Michigan State University,
where she proudly contributed to The State News and helped
the
newspaper earn two consecutive Pacemaker awards-one while
serving as Editor-in-Chief. She also earned an M.F.A. in
Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University, where
she taught undergraduate workshops, served as Technical
Editor for the Mid-American Review, and was a recipient
of the Devine
Fellowship.
