Winner of the 2020 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction, judged by Alice Sebold. , Campbell has published one other book, JOURNEY INTO MOTHERHOOD: Writing Your Way to Self-Discovery. Though it was published with Riverhead in 1996, it's still relevant to note that this book sold more than 10k copies and earned Campbell a $20, 000 advance at the time. , Campbell's work is largely focused on, as Campbell puts it, "bodies marked by memory, " and several of these stories specifically look at women who are having to overcome a history of violations against their bodies. As Campbell herself writes, this is timely and aligns with the conversations of the #MeToo movement. Campbell, too, is very vocal about her own history dealing with rape and the judiciary processes that follow, and she has dedicated her working career to fighting for women's rights and helping women. These stories are SO important. , Director of Ripe Fruit School of Creative Writing. , In the past has worked for California Poets in the Schools, San Francisco Women's Building Collective, and San Francisco State University Creative Writing Department. , Though she graduated from both in the 70s, she has contacts from her undergrad (Standford) and her MA (San Francisco State University). She earned her MFA in 2013 from Bennington Writing Seminars. Campbell has also participated in Tin House Summer Workshops, Bread Loaf Writer's Conference, Napa Valley Writing Conference, New Harmony Writer's Workshop, and Juniper Summer Writing Institute. , In just the last few years, Campbell's stories have won the Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize, the Arts & Letters Fiction Prize, the Mary C. Mohr Prize for Fiction, the Briar Cliff Review Fiction Award, and she has been named a finalist for prizes from Glimmer Train, Iowa Review, and Belleview Literary Review.
