One of my stories has been translated into Farsi by Asadollah Amraee, and many others by Jalil Jafari, two of which have been published in the Iranian journal, Golestaneh Magazine. For two years I worked as an assistant editor for Narrative Magazine. Currently, I serve as a mentor for Dzanc's Creative Writing Sessions. I'm working on two novels and a short story collection. In May, I was awarded the Carol Houck Smith Contributor Scholarship for the 2011 Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.

Kat, this is great. thank you for the link. -- C.
Thanks for this, Kat. I've never found the MB stuff terribly helpful, even in the big organizations I've worked in. But this seems like an actually useful application of. Jenks is on to something.
Thanks for posting this link, Kat. Fascinating stuff.
Yes, I thought it was interesting. I think my writing would be judged heavy on intuitive or sensual and very light on thinking...
Me, too, Kat. He especially got me when he said that bit about sensory details and lists. Bang! That's me. I am going to print this out and study it. Fascinating!
I should also add that the original link for this article came from Jessica Lipnack. Thanks, Jessica!
