Judge: Shelley
Jackson
Shelley Jackson holds an AB in art from
Stanford University and an MFA in creative writing from Brown
University. She continues to divide her attention between art,
writing, and other forms of misbehavior, on and off-line. She is the
author of the acclaimed hypertext novel Patchwork Girl (Eastgate
1995), a feminist reworking of the Frankenstein myth. Her other
e-publications include the award-winning My Body (Alt-X 1997), a
semi-fictional autobiography in hypertext, and her own
ever-expanding web site, Shelley Jackson's Ineradicable Stain
(http://www.ineradicablestain.com). Works in
print include short stories in Conjunctions, Fence, Gargoyle, the
Fetish anthology and other journals, and she is also the author and
illustrator of two children's books. Forthcoming are a collection of
stories and a novel.
