Gretchen Heffernan is a poet, novelist, filmmaker, and publisher
I am a writer who records and publishes text as an art practice. I’m the founder of Backlash Press and co-founder and co-director of Edgeland Modern. My work has been featured in AGNI, Brittle Star, and A Rabbit’s Foot and longlisted by the BBC. I write fiction, essays, zines, poetry, screenplays, and text art.
I studied poetry at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop, Creative Writing and English Literature at Vermont College, Faber and Faber Academy, and Curtis Brown Creative. Film Sussex supports my short films, and Arts Council England supports my written work and text art.
