Erika Nichols-Frazer
I am an author, editor, and reader from Vermont.
My short story collection, No One Will Ever Hear You, was published by Rootstock Publishing in September 2026. My poetry chapbook, Can you see her, the moon? was published by Finishing Line Press in June 2026. I have also published a memoir, Feed Me: A Story of Food, Love and Mental Illness, and a full-length poetry collection, Staring Too Closely.
I am the owner and manager of Wilder Farm, an 1850s farmhouse in the Mad River Valley of Vermont with 9 bedrooms that sleeps up to 16. In addition to renting the whole house to large groups throughout the year, I am also planning to host writing retreats and workshops/small events. Stay tuned for announcements.
I have an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars and a B.A. in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College.
More than thirty of my short stories, essays, and poems have appeared in print and online. My story "No One Will Ever Hear You" won Noir Nation's 2020 Golden Fedora Fiction Prize. My story "Ember" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
When I'm not writing, you can usually find me snowboarding, reading, or cooking. I live in Vermont with my husband, young daughter, and various animals.
