About Heather DiamondClose

Who am I
Like a cat, I’ve had a few lives. Originally from Washington State, I have lived in Arkansas, Texas, and Hawaii, and I have worked as a bookseller, folklorist, museum curator, and university lecturer. I have a Ph.D. in American Studies and have published an academic book: American Aloha: Cultural Tourism and the Negotiation of Tradition. In 2016 I started taking creative non-fiction online classes, and I have studied with Joelle Fraser, Linda Joy Myers and Brooke Warner, Nicole Breit, and Rachel Thompson. My creative non-fiction has been shortlisted in the 2018 creative non-fiction contest at Room Magazine, received honorable mention in the Twelfth Annual Solas Travel Writing Awards (2018), and is forthcoming in Memoir Magazine. As of 2018, I live in Hong Kong with my husband and cats. I am completing a memoir about my intercultural marriage.
