Katy-Anne Binstead

College: Southern New Hampshire University
Major: Creative Writing; English Literature
Graduation Date: October 1, 2018

I have a Master of Arts in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University (2018), and also earned a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) from Central Queensland University in Australia (2014). I reside on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have four children.

I love vampire stories, literary analysis, the Episcopal Church, and the smell of books which is basically a fancy way of admitting that I'm a nerd. My favorite season in the liturgical calendar is Lent because it's very introspective and I'm an introvert. In my spare time when I'm not reading or writing, I make prayer beads.

I grew up in a Christian fundamentalist cult in Australia, which makes for some interesting dinner conversations and strange looks. Thanks to St. Mary Magdalene, good friends, and a bunch of meds, diagnoses, and therapy, I'm processing my trauma and radically pursuing healing.
