Mel Hicks is a novelist, short story writer and screenwriter. She has been a finalist in Glimmer Train’s Very Short Story Award and the William Faulkner Short Story Competition. Her screenplay was a finalist in the Tennessee Screenwriting Association Script Competition. She lives in Georgia with her husband and three-year-old daughter, a gaggle of cats and dogs, and one very overworked vacuum cleaner. In her former life as a television promotion writer/producer, she was forced to write in thirty-second increments; she decided she had more to say.
Her work can currently be seen in the Spring '08 edition of the online journal, r.kv.r.y, www.ninetymeetingsinninetydays.com.
