About

Kellie M. Walsh is a writer, editor,
and project manager with librarian tendencies. She received her first publication credit at age 16 in the literary journal of a small Catholic college: titled “She has lost God,” the poem was either daring the nuns to print it or stacking the deck.

Today Kellie writes creative nonfiction, articles, essays, short fiction, and prose poetry. In her spare time, she is working on a book about a flag that stalked a drummer around the world.

Kellie graduated summa cum laude as a Henry Rutgers Scholar from Rutgers College (B.A., English and Classics), where she earned a number of academic, research, and writing awards, including the Jerome and Lorraine Aresty Undergraduate Research Fellowship, the Muriel R. Chess Scholarship, and the Jamima Dingus Qualls Prize two years running.

Her mother would have been very proud.

Kellie wrote her honors thesis on the early poetry of Keats that no one ever reads, sold blood plasma to fund an indie theater production, organizes a wiki, and chased a dead ’80s band for a year mostly because drums are cool. She lives in the New York City area with her husband and an army of houseplants.
