About Natalie: Natalie Lima is a Cuban-Puerto Rican writer and a graduate of the MFA program in creative nonfiction at the University of Arizona. Her essays and fiction have been published or are forthcoming in Longreads, Guernica, Brevity, The Offing, Catapult and elsewhere.

Piper Center for Creative Writing, and a residency from Hedgebrook in 2020. You can find Natalie on IG and Twitter @natalielima09.
What Natalie is Looking For: I'm drawn to stories that speak to emotional truths, from realism to fabulism. For me, this most often happens through strong characterization. I love to be taken on a journey, especially unconventional ones, about people who make mistakes or do "bad" things. A strong voice is my favorite.
