Lindsey holds a BA and MA in English from College of Charleston and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Seattle Pacific University. In 2021-22 she taught as the Writer-in-Residence at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities. She currently teaches writing online and in-person via WRITESHARE, the writers’ network she co-founded in Upstate SC, and for places such as Creative Nonfiction Magazine. Lindsey previously taught literature and fiction writing at Clemson University and served as Editor of Emrys Journal and Edible Upcountry.

Among other places, her essays have been published in Split Lip, Motherwell, Paste, Pigeon Pages, Brevity Blog, South Carolina Review, and Salvation South (as well as forthcoming in under the gum tree). She is a recipient of the VanderMey Nonfiction Prize, and an essay nominated by Pigeon Pages was recently a finalist for Best of the Web.

As a writer who often locates herself inside the tension between seemingly opposed forces—the spiritual and the practical, the mysterious and the mundane, the Mother and the Artist—Lindsey is interested in intersections. She likes to write herself out of (and occasionally into) tight spots. In this spirit, she writes a Substack called Between Two Things.
