Adrienne Celt was born in Seattle, WA and has lived in a great many places since then. (A non-exhaustive list: Iowa, California, Chicago, and St. Petersburg, Russia.) Currently, she resides in Tucson, AZ where she welcomes the summer rainstorms as distractions from the fact that there is no ocean for hundreds of miles.
Her debut novel The Daughters (W.W. Norton/Liveright 2015) won the 2015 PEN Southwest Book Award and was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR. Her writing has also been recognized by the PEN/O. Henry Prize, a Glenna Luschei award, and residencies at Ragdale and the Willapa Bay AiR. She’s published fiction in Esquire, The Kenyon Review, Epoch,Prairie Schooner, and Ecotone, among other places, and her comics and essays can be found in The Rumpus, The Toast, The Millions, the Tin House Open Bar, and elsewhere. She publishes a webcomic (most) every Wednesday at loveamongthelampreys.com.

Hi Rachael, thanks for another great episode! I’m so glad you’re doing this podcast. It helps keep me in the writing frame of mind and makes me feel a part of something bigger than sitting alone at the keyboard, typing away into infinity. Perhaps sometime you could record an episode about your revision strategies and attitude, since you are apparently the Queen Of! I want to love revision…it’s all a process.
Thanks for your cheerfulness and content 🙂
