She lives in Northampton and is the assistant editor of Jubilat.
Laura van den Berg is a third-year MFA student at Emerson College, where she is the editor-in-chief of Redivider and a Ploughshares staff member. Her fiction has been published or will soon appear in StoryQuarterly, The Greensboro Review, Third Coast, The Louisville Review, The Northwest Review, The Indiana Review, The Literary Review, and American Short Fiction, among others. Her stories have also received awards from Glimmer Train and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.
Jessica Belt writes essays on religion, Texas, and the eccentricities of urban living. She is inspired by the oddballs and chatterboxes she meets near her home in Cambridge, MA. She studied sociology at Gordon College and will complete her MFA at Lesley University in June 2008. Jessica's essays have appeared in InkCollective.
Porter Square Books will be selling books at this reading.
