Kiley, an Acting major and minor in Religious Studies, is currently pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop where she was awarded the Truman Capote Fellowship. Her short stories have been featured and are forthcoming in December, Lumina, New South, Ploughshares, and others.
The novel, which explores the complicated nature of transactional relationships, of being a “grown up,” and of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, is set to be published in Fall 2019.
Congratulations, Kiley!
