Eliza C. Walton earned her BA from Bennington College, writing a creative poetry thesis. She earned her MFA in fiction (2010) from the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast program.
After a post-college stint in the editorial department of Rolling Stone magazine, she married and moved to a small farm on the coast of Maine. A writer by nature, she put her pen aside for a time to raise three children among sheep, chickens, ponies and donkeys. She lives and writes in Maine.
Eliza has published flash fiction in elimae, Bartleby Snopes, and A cappella Zoo. The Colors I Saw: A Cancer Memoir chronicles her experience with rectal cancer at age 53, exploring how a writer uses her craft to survive cancer treatment. Colors is Eliza’s first published book.
