Katie Livingston

Katie Livingston is currently an English PhD candidate at Stanford University. With a focus on American literature from 1840-1940, Katie researches class mobility in the novel, women's literature, and local color/regionalist fiction.

Katie did her undergrad at Wesleyan University, where she graduated with high honors in English. She has been teaching both creative and critical writing for the past seven years both in a tutoring and classroom setting. She believes in focusing on the process and practice of writing and helping students use writing as a tool for self-discovery and expression. Her own writing has been recognized in awards and fellowships and published in literary journals, and fiction anthologies.

When she isn't immersed in writing or teaching, Katie enjoys exploring the outdoors as a backpacker, hiker, and climber. She also finds joy in baking cakes, indulging in campy horror films, and spending time with her cat, Loaf.
