Autorenporträt

Juyanne James grew up on a farm in southeast Louisiana, then left at 17 to join the U.S. Navy. After traveling and holding a number of odd jobs (such as over-the-road truck driver) and living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she returned to Louisiana because her father was diagnosed with cancer. Back home, she went to college and received a B.A. and M.A. in English literature. She later received an M.F.A. in writing as well. James has been a teacher for ten years, including nine years at Our Lady of Holy Cross College in New Orleans. Her stories and essays have been published in journals such as The Louisville Review, Mythium, Bayou Magazine, and Eleven Eleven, and included in the anthologies New Stories from the South 2009 (Algonquin) and Something in the Water: 20 Louisiana Stories (Portals Press). She was also commissioned to write a story for Symphony Space’s Selected Shorts Project. James has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize twice.
