Heather Labay is a writer whose first-ever short story was ‘published’ by her 5th grade teacher. That lofty achievement set her firmly on the road to writing, and she’s never looked back. In honor of that defining moment, Heather also supports young writers and dreamers. As an educator, her extensive commitment to the literary community includes serving as a board review member with YoungArts, contributing to the Meadowbrook Writing Project, and teaching at her local community college. As a developmental editor, Heather has over 10 years of experience in elevating narrative craft, and she works closely with authors as a book and writing coach to refine unique narrative voices. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and is featured in Adelaide Literary Magazine, Mobius Blvd., Borderline Tales, and Still Here Magazine.
