Cindy always knew she wanted to be a writer. She told tall tales as a child before she could hold a pencil and scribbled her own illustrations in crayon. A professional newspaper career that began with a high school internship at The Macon News evolved into a focus on literary nonfiction, a form as difficult to quantify as she.

Cindy’s work has been published in numerous literary magazines including High Shelf Press, Brevity Nonfiction Blog, Canyon Voices Literary Magazine, Pangyrus Literary Magazine, and the New Southern Fugitives, which nominated her for a 2020 Pushcart Prize.
