Annie Grimes (she/her/hers) is a writer from Conway, Arkansas. She received her MFA in fiction from the College of Charleston in 2024, where she was the recipient of her program’s Outstanding Student Award. Her poetry is featured or forthcoming in RattleMudroom, Frozen Sea, and elsewhere. Her fiction can be found in New Delta Review.

She is the proud mother of a tuxedo cat named Petunia, and when she’s not reading or writing, she’s probably covering Alanis Morissette’s “Hand in my Pocket” at her local karaoke bar.
