Biography
After UNB graduation, Heather Browne wanted to pursue psychology, but defaulted to teaching in Oromocto, NB. which turned out to be a psychology degree in its own rite. An avid interest in writing developed during her teaching via the WFNB, and the Maritime Writers’ Workshop. This interest led to her attending UBC’s graduate creative writing program in Vancouver in the 90s. Two collections of poetry resulted from her thesis, and were published in New Brunswick by independent small presses. An intense interest in fiction developed from UBC’s writing program as well. She published A Moose in the Dark, a short story collection with an awesome small press in Toronto in 2017. Presently a novel, The Broken Tooth, awarded a 2020 artsnb Creation grant, has Heather pursuing her chapters, and its off-shoot, Letters to a Dead Woman.
She aspires to reoffer a 2020 Writing Well series in Fredericton, “in person and around a table” when sitting around a table becomes less of a novelty to its participants.
