About D.E. Hardy
D.E. Hardy is a hot mess of a human, but if you've found this page and read this far, maybe she's your kind of mess? Anywho, she's a staff reader at The Rumpus, Chestnut Review, & Quarterly West, and received her MFA (fiction and nonfiction) from Antioch University. Originally from the midwest (Go Buckeyes!), D.E. lives in the SF Bay Area with her spouse, two daughters, two cats, and her dog. Her work has been twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize (Thank you, Clockhouse and Flashback Fiction!) and anthologized in Best Small Fictions and Best Microfiction. She's working on a novel and a memoir--because why have one unfinished WIP when you could have two. #goals
