Caroline Walker is a fiction and creative nonfiction writer who has received fellowships from The Kerouac Project, the Jentel Foundation and the Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences. Her participation in The Arctic Circle Summer Solstice Expeditionary Residency marked the culmination of a personal journey tracing the path blazed by the heroine in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, The Snow Queen. Caroline's research from this experience forms the foundation for a nonfiction work in progress. Like much of her writing, the Snow Queen project explores questions of identity through sense of place, human relationships with the natural world, and the ways women, specifically, define and experience freedom. Caroline holds a B.A. from the University of Southern California and an M.A. from New York University.
While at the MacDowell, she completed edits on her first novel, Man of the Year, set for publication in 2019 by Gallery Books, and developed material for an interdisciplinary work-in-progress.
