Courtney Denelle is the author of IT’S NOT NOTHING (SFWP, 2022), a novel-in-fragments drawn from her experience of homelessness and recovery, and the forthcoming novel Real Piece of Work, an art world satire that explores image-craft and the unbidden toll of a life lived in persona. Her stories have appeared in the Alembic, Tahoma Literary Review, Southampton Review, and elsewhere, and have been anthologized in America’s Emerging Writers: An Anthology of Fiction and Night of the Geminids: Fireside Tales.
Winner of the 2021 Poets & Writers Maureen Egen award, Courtney has been granted a Hawthornden Fellowship and a MacColl Johnson Fellowship, as well as residencies from Hedgebrook and the Jentel Foundation.
Of Courtney Denelle, The Millions says: “Denelle creates her own niche in the genre of women’s psychological fiction [and] helps pave the way for mental-health fiction writers who crave a written structure that speaks to the reality of their experience.”
She lives in Providence, where she received her greater education from the public library.
