CHRISTINE PARDUE

I’m a writer who grew up in the mountains of north Georgia. Now I live in New York. 

I was a student in Tony Tulathimutte’s CRIT and am writing my first novel. Soon I’ll be moving to St. Louis for a fiction MFA at WashU.

Over the years I’ve held different roles in academic and literary publishing and am now the events manager at Rizzoli Bookstore. 

Before I lived in New York, I taught English in Gabrovo, Bulgaria for two years. I’m an emeritus member of Bosilek, a Bulgarian folkdance ensemble, which was founded in a Soho loft in 1973. In fact it’s the oldest Bulgarian folkdance ensemble in North America. 

I’m also an editor (copyediting and developmental editing, with a special focus on the humanities). If you have a project that needs an editor, I would be happy to hear from you: christine.pardue at gmail dot com.
