About
Anneliese writes short stories, novels and flash fiction in Richmond, BC, Boulder, CO, and points between on the train. She taught Italian (and then ‘Green Italian’, incorporating sustainability) for many years at UBC, and has also been an extreme weather shelter worker.

A Pushcart Prize nominee and Bread Loaf Scholar, she completed her BA in French and Italian at Middlebury, and an MA in Italian and MFA in Creative Writing at UBC. Her work has been published by Solstice, bosque, Literary Imagination, Enizagam, The Lascaux Review, Stone Canoe, The Toronto Star, Moon Willow Press, and Exile Editions, and recognized by The Writer, Glimmer Train, Ruminate, The Writers’ Union of Canada, Cutthroat, New Millennium Writings, Masters Review, Hidden River Arts, the Bath Short Story Award, Regal House Publishing, the Surrey International Writers’ Conference, and the Alpine Fellowship.
Shortlisted for the 2016 HarperCollins/UBC Best New Fiction Award, she has also received the Stone Canoe Galson Prize for Fiction and the ALSCW Meringoff Fiction Award.
