Laurie Marshall is an award-winning writer and artist in Northwest Arkansas. You can find her work in Moon City Review 2024, Best Small Fictions 2022, the Belle Point Press Mid/South Anthology, as well as several online journals and literary magazines.

Laurie is a second year fiction candidate in the MFA in creative writing at University of Arkansas so most of the time she is reading and writing and stressing that she’s not reading and writing enough. When she is procrastinating, Laurie shops at thrift stores, performs with a comedy improv group, and feels guilty about the state of her flower beds. She is a firm believer in the transformative power of Militant Optimism and Nacho Cheese Doritos.
