Audrey Kalman

Audrey Kalman writes fiction with a dark edge about what goes awry when human connection is missing from our lives. She is the author of three novels—The Last Storyteller (2020), What Remains Unsaid (2017), and Dance of Souls (2011)—and a short fiction collection, Tiny Shoes Dancing (2018), which was shortlisted for the 2019 International Rubery Book Award. Her fiction and poetry have appeared in a number of print and online publications. In 2022, she co-created the Birth Your Truest Story writers’ community and offers editing and coaching services for writers. She has served as president and vice president of the SF Peninsula Branch of the California Writers Club and editor of the branch anthology, Fault Zone. Previous career incarnations include birth doula (professional labor coach), tech marketing professional, and freelance journalist. She lives in Northern California and is (perpetually) at work on another novel.
