Crystal King
I'm a novelist, culinary enthusiast, and marketing expert. My writing is fueled by a love of history and a passion for the food, language, and culture of Italy.
I have taught writing, creativity and social media at UMass Boston, Boston University, Mass College of Art, Harvard Extension School, and Grub Street.
I'm a Pushcart Prize–nominated poet and former co-editor of the (now defunct) online literary arts journal Plum Ruby Review. I received my M.A. in critical and creative thinking from UMass Boston, where I developed a series of exercises and writing prompts to help fiction writers in medias res.
I live in Boston but grew up in the Pacific Northwest (Spokane, Seattle, Boise). My husband, my shining star, is a French-Acadian/Italian who is a fantastic chef and visual artist.
I also work in the world of social media, AI, marketing, and community management.
