Ashley Warlick is the author of the novels “Seek the Living,” “The Summer After June” and “The Distance from the Heart of Things.”
Stewart O’Nan called “Seek The Living” “a deeply wise and sensual rumination on the hard secrets of love and family.”
In its review of “The Summer After June,” the San Francisco Chronicle raved that “Warlick writes with sometimes breathtaking maturity in a voice eloquent with knowledge and understanding.”
And the New York Times praised “The Distance from the Heart of Things” as “a literary arrival of the most stylish sort. There is a completeness, a fullness, in this novel.”
For that debut, she became the youngest ever recipient of the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship.
Warlick is also a founding member of the advisory board for the Novello Festival Press, and a book columnist for several newspapers.
In 2006, she received a fellowship in literature from the National Endowment for the Arts.
She teaches in the M.F.A. program at Queens University in Charlotte, N.C., and at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities.
