Victoria Barrett has taught more than three thousand college students, most of them freshmen, in online, face-to-face, and hybrid courses. She is also the editor and publisher of fiction press Engine Books and a writer whose own fiction, nonfiction, and essays have appeared in the Washington Post, Glimmer Train Stories, Gay Mag, and other national outlets. Although she teaches, writes, and reads online, Victoria's favorite thing to do is get into a warm bed with a good paperback on a cold night.
