Emily Woodworth

Emily Woodworth grew up just steps from the Deschutes National Forest, watching Monty Python and reading Dickens voraciously. Oregon culture shapes all her writing, including an online sketch-comedy series, “The Barista Times,” about her experiences in the coffee industry. She holds a degree in Creative Writing from Pacific University, and will pursue her MFA in Writing at CalArts. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Under the SunLiterary Juice, and Broad Street.
