Bucket Siler is a writer, editor, zine enthusiast, and the founder Santa Fe Zine Fest. Her most recent zine is Pigtail Girls, a dark, feminist fantasy illustrated by Lindsay Payton.

She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the Rainier Writing Workshop, and has been a Vermont Studio Center fellow and the recipient of a Fulcrum Fund Award. Her work has appeared in Atticus Review, Bracken, The Nervous Breakdown, and Storm Cellar, where she won second prize the 2017 Force Majeure Flash Contest.

When she's not writing or sleeping, she likes to wander around the desert, drink tea, give unusually long hugs to her friends, and make off-kilter jokes with a straight face. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she has lived in New Mexico since 2006.
