Michelle Primeau Premchand holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Texas at El Paso. Her thesis of creative nonfiction, Left Behind in Telluride, is available on Amazon at a rate that might make you think it is a rare artifact. She did not set this rate and suspects the only reader crazy enough to buy it is yours truly. She has published poetry in Blue Lake Review and has creative nonfiction forthcoming in South Loop Review. She was a co-editor of Quicksilver online lit mag (before it went belly up) and remains optimistic despite the steaming pile of magazine/agent rejection.
