Laura Pritchett's newest novel, Playing with {Wild}Fire (Torrey House, 2024), recounts the moments leading up to an evacuation due to a megafire in a small community in Colorado. She’s the author of six other novels: Three Keys (Ballantine, 2024), The Blue Hour (Counterpoint, 2017), Red Lightning (Counterpoint, 2015) Stars Go Blue (Counterpoint, 2014), Sky Bridge (Milkweed Editions, 2009), and Hell's Bottom, Colorado (Milkweed Editions, 2001). Known for championing the complex and contemporary West, giving voice to the working class, and re-writing the “Western,” her books have garnered the PEN USA Award, the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, the WILLA, the High Plains Book Award, several Colorado Book Awards, and others. She’s also the author of one play, two nonfiction books, and editor of three environmental-based anthologies. She developed and directs the MFA in Nature Writing at Western Colorado University, one of the few in the nation with a focus on environmental and place-based writing. She earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University. When not writing or teaching, she can generally be found outside in Colorado’s mountains.
