The mountains of western North Carolina wouldn’t seem like a place to pursue an interest in playwriting, but Katie Winkler has found a way through acting, directing, writing theater reviews, and collaborating with the theater department at the college where she teaches English composition and British literature. Four of her plays have been produced by the college, one of them, a musical called A Carolina Story, with music by Curtis McCarley, was produced a second time to benefit the college foundation’s Student Emergency Grant and Loan Fund.
Also a prose writer, Katie has published numerous short stories in print and online publications, including the anthology, Unbroken Circle: Stories of Cultural Diversity in the South, Saturday Evening Post, Bethlehem Writers Roundtable, Mulberry Fork Review, Fabula Argentea, A&U Magazine, and The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, among others. For years she wrote arts-related feature articles and theater reviews for the Hendersonville Time-News until she got too darn busy with teaching, playwriting, fiction writing (including her third novel), facilitating workshops, and maintaining her blog (Hey Mrs. Winkler: Musings and Mutterings about Teaching in the South), as well as editing and publishing Teach. Write.: A Writing Teachers' Literary Journal. Whew!
