About

Rae Bryant’s fiction has received Honors and Awards in the Lorian Hemingway and Bartleby Snopes Competitions. Her stories appear in Rick Magazine (formerly Mississippi Review), Annalemma, and Word Riot, among others. She is an M.A. in Writing (Fiction) candidate at Johns Hopkins University and the editor of Moon Milk Review.  See Rae’s selected publication list: fiction and nonfiction.

An antiquarian with a particular love for literary, magical realist and surrealist fiction, Rae combines these interests in her writing and reading. She particular enjoys the surreal mundane.

Before writing full time, Rae graduated with a bachelors in Humanities/English Language and Literature then taught high school for over fifteen years. She also worked as a shoe salesman, film caterer, youth counselor and Catwoman for a promotional Batmobile, the original, tour. Her biggest Warhol moment is three—count them 1, 2, 3—seconds of headshot time in the SF film, Wing Commander.

Rae lives outside Washington D.C. with her husband, two children, three cats, a dog and a grumpy hermit crab named Nietchze.
