Karen Moulding’s fiction and poetry have appeared in nerve.com, Fawlt Magazine, the Piedmont Literary Review, Spectrum, and more, and have been anthologized by Chronicle Books (Smut 2, the best of nerve.com), and STARbooks Press. She earned an MFA in Fiction at Columbia University, an MA in English at City College of New York, and, inexplicably, a law degree at Columbia University School of Law. She is Editor of the annually updated legal treatise, Sexual Orientation and the Law. She’s enjoyed Fellowships in fiction from the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, the Squaw Valley Community of Writers and the Napa Valley Writers Conference, and has taught fiction at The Writers Voice in New York City, Gotham Writers’ Workshop, and her own living room (the East Village Fiction Workshop). She was Teaching Assistant for the late poet Kenneth Koch at Columbia University. She has read her work at KGB Bar, Cornelia Street Café and other venues in New York City, and at Tongue and Groove (Hotel Café) and Universal Bar and Grill in Los Angeles. She lives in New York City (mostly) and/or Los Angeles and is the single mother of a bizarrely literate and adorably hammy three year old girl named Fin.
