Crystal McQueen is an American writer who earned her MFA from EKU's Bluegrass Writer's Studio, where she won the 2022 Emerging Writer award for Fiction. Her work has been published in literary magazines across the globe, and she is the co-host of the Everyday Writers podcast with friend and fellow author, Jordan S. Keller. When she’s not writing, she loves traveling the world, and when that gets too expensive, she turns to hiking, biking, yoga, and of course, curling up with a good book.
