Somayeh Shams
Writer and Editor
I am an Iranian-born writer and a graduate of Warren Wilson’s MFA program in Fiction. I have been a writer-in-residence at Hedgebrook and a recipient of a merit scholarship at the New York Summer Writer Institute. An excerpt of the novel I am currently finishing has appeared in the literary journal Waxwing. As an editor for the literary journal Nimrod International Journal, I regularly contribute articles and interviews to their blog. I also recently guest edited Nimrod’s "Voices of the Middle East and North African" theme issue due Spring/Summer 2019.
