Experience & Credentials

I hold a MFA degree in creative writing from Louisiana State University, taught composition and fiction writing at the college level, and served as a fiction editor and co-editor in chief of New Delta Review.

In my positions within the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, I wrote and edited corporate presentations, research reports, agency newsletters, and federal, state, and foundation grants.

For more than 15 years, I’ve edited and mentored writers of fiction and nonfiction.

I’m also the author of four novels. The Mercy of Thin Air, my critically acclaimed debut, was published in 10 languages and was a fiction finalist for the 2005 Borders Original Voices Award and 2006 SIBA Book Award. The Mapmaker's War, The Chronicle of Secret Riven, and The Plague Diaries are the books of the Keeper of Tales Trilogy.

My essays and short stories have appeared in New England Review, Clackamas Literary Review, and Lion’s Roar (formerly Shambhala Sun) as well as on mindful.org, The Nervous Breakdown, and Salon.com. For a list, visit http://www.ronlyndomingue.com/booksetc.
