Dell Smith
I'm a novelist and short story writer.

My writing has appeared in Fiction, Tropus, J Journal, Hacks (10 year Grub Street Anthology), and the Grub Street Free Press. I am a founding writer of the group writing blog Beyond the Margins. I am currently working on a novel. I am always currently working on a novel.
