Nikki Kallio

I'm an award-winning writer and journalist who has worked at newspapers and magazines in Wisconsin, Maine and California. Deadlines keep me focused. I earned my MFA in creative writing from Goddard College.

My short stories have been recognized by the Wisconsin People & Ideas Fiction contest & published in Midwestern Gothic, Minerva Rising and other places. My essay “Cold Front” appeared in the anthology (Her)oics: Women’s Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic, released March 2021 by Pact Press (http://pactpress.com/heroics-anthology/). My collection of short stories and a novella, “Finding the Bones,” was published in 2023 by Cornerstone Press.

I've been a reporter, an opinion writer, a copy editor and news editor. I’m skilled at writing and editing digital content for businesses and organizations including social media, industry articles, blogs, case studies, white papers, website content and staff bios. I'm a blogger, a tweeter, and an Instagram-er.
