Nadia Kalman

Nadia Kalman has published short stories in the Walrus, the Gettysburg Review, the Madison Review, the Antigonish Review, and other magazines. Her awards include full fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, the Ragdale Colony, and Summer Literary Seminars in St. Petersburg. Recently, she was nominated for a 2009 O. Henry Prize.

Nadia has also written for children, having collaborated on Living and Working Together: Neighborhoods, a social studies textbook; and The Letter Book, a series of poems for emerging readers. (Metropolitan Teaching and Learning Company published both books.)

As a former English teacher in the New York public school system, Nadia is familiar with the Workshop Method, Balanced Literacy, genre study, and with issues relating to English Language Learners. She knows basic Spanish and fluent Russian. Nadia is excited about the chance to work with other educators and help children learn to love writing.
