Kelly Link

Kelly Link (born in 1969) is an American author. Her stories might be described as slipstream or magical realism: sometimes a combination of science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and realism.

Link is a graduate of Columbia University in New York and the MFA program of UNC Greensboro. In 1995 she attended the Clarion East Writing Workshop.

Link and her husband Gavin Grant manage Small Beer Press, based in Northampton, Massachusetts. They also co-edit St. Martin's Press's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror anthology series, along with Ellen Datlow. Link has taught or visited at a number of schools and workshops.
