I am so pleased to announce that the editors of Creative Nonfiction Magazine have included my essay, “Acts of Courage,” among their nominees for this year’s Pushcart Prize!  Congrats to my fellow nominees — I am in very good company.

“Acts of Courage,” winner of Creative Nonfiction‘s The Human Face of Sustainability Contest, was originally published in Issue #51, Spring 2014.  Please check out my podcast reading of the piece below:

About Mary Heather

I am an East-coaster and a West-coaster. I am an academic and a creative spirit. I am an environmental scientist who always wanted to write, and a writer with a nagging nostalgia for the complexities of environmental science. Above all, I am a mother — so whether I’m writing about the natural world, family, or place, I like to consider my work as environmental advocacy in the broadest sense.
