Meet Our Readers: Jan English Leary

Jan English Leary is the author of two books: Thicker Than Blood, a novel, and Skating on the Vertical, a collection of stories, both published by Fomite Press. Her work has appeared in Pleiades, The Minnesota Review, Carve, The Long Story, The Literary Review, and other journals. She taught fiction-writing at Francis W. Parker School and Northwestern University, and she is now a reader for the Pen-City Writing Program, a three-year, creative-writing certificate program for men incarcerated at a maximum security prison in southern Texas. Jan lives in Chicago with her husband, John Leary, a painter who did the cover art for both of her books.

Please join Jan and all our amazing readers on Saturday, September 22, upstairs at Hopleaf at 5:00 pm as part of Lit Crawl Chicago. Remember to RSVP on Facebook! This 21-and-older event is free.
