Author & Storyteller

Carrie Lee South earned her MFA at the Arkansas Writer’s Workshop and is an editor at StoryBottle Co. She loves stories that evoke wonder, fear, and things that keep you awake at night. When she’s not reading and writing, she’s spending time with birds (her own and the ones outside). Her writing has appeared in Waxwing, F(r)iction, Iron Horse Literary Review, Fourth Genre, Opus Comics, The Dread Machine, Tales to Terrify, and elsewhere. Her debut novel IN THE WOODS THEY WAIT is forthcoming from Mulholland Books in 2026.
