About C Wallace Walker

C Wallace Walker began her writing career in fourth grade by sending complaint letters to companies on behalf of her Pennsylvania Dutch speaking grandmother. Writing success in those days came in the form of complimentary new fan blades and coupons for free cat food and cereal. Later she wrote obituaries and edited speeches. After years of piecemeal work, she secured a real job as a technical translator. Her professional stature and desirability were inexplicably enhanced by the seizure and confiscation of her passport and visa in the former USSR. She is a member of the Broadneck Writers’ Workshop and an award-winning screenwriter and poet. Her work has appeared in "Monkeybicycle," "The Copperfield Review" and "The Little Patuxent Review," among others. She is the winner of a PEN American Short Award. Wallace lives on Maryland’s Severn River with her husband, two sons and a scheming, but lovable beagle.
