Chris Naff
CHRIS NAFF left a corporate training and development career, after two consecutive cancer diagnoses and treatments, to hang out with readers and writers and spend whatever time she had left on the planet to write woven sagas and tiny stories about being human. Today, over a decade later, Chris enjoys continued good health in Northern California with her supportive, hilarious, engineer-husband, and in proximity to her two adult sons. After many workshops and conferences, and drafts, rewrites, and edits—with and among hundreds of generous writers—she is currently seeking representation for her big novel, History of the Dance. Her WIP short story collection, When Last We Spoke, includes previously published Dahlia (Intima), and Elephant, winner of the 2023 Mayday Short Fiction Prize.
