Bethany Hudson is a writer and scholar drawn to the cracks that destabilize structures designed to orient life: biology, government, theology, and narrative itself. Her work often engages with archival forms, the ethical limits of self-definition, and questions of who gets to make and hold meaning. Bethany holds a BFA in Acting from the University of Southern California and an MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics from the University of Washington, Bothell. She’s currently working on her debut literary novel Beautiful Forms, which follows a married couple whose infertility diagnosis forces them to reckon with the ethical limits of intimacy and what it means to live inside an identity that cannot be chosen. Bethany is a member of the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) and the Association for the Study of Arts of the Present (ASAP). Her short fiction may be found in Isele Magazine. After twenty years in Seattle, she lives with her family in New York State.
