My name is Jennifer Hill-Flores.

My short stories and poetry have been published in literary magazines and journals in the US, UK, and Canada.

I have a Masters of Art in Writing from Johns Hopkins University. I earned my B.F.A. in Writing, Literature & Publishing from Emerson College in Boston, where I served as an editorial assistant for Ploughshares literary magazine. I am now a reader for that publication. I am also a teaching artist with Badgerdog Literary/Austin Public Library Foundation.

I’ve been a featured storyteller and poet at Book Woman, Hearsay Poetry, Testify, Carry On: A Storyteller’s Showcase, The Living Room, and The Story Department in Austin, TX, where I am a senior writer for major tech companies. I’ve served as the editor-in-chief of Austin Family Magazine and have written news and feature pieces for Austin Woman Magazine, Austin Monthly, Moms.com, and BabyChick.com.

I’ve worked as a story analyst in Los Angeles for various film companies and as a public relations pro and literary publicist for many years. I served as the PR Director for the Texas Book Festival and was on the founding advisory board for Texas Writers Month.

These days, I’m writing short stories and poems and revising a novel. I’m also a devoted open/cold water swimmer, an amateur fiber artist, and a citizen naturalist.
