Danielle Valore Evans

Danielle Evans (born Danielle Valore Evans)[1] is an American fiction writer. In 2011, she was honored by the National Book Foundation as one of its "5 Under 35" fiction writers.[2] Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self, her first short story collection, won the 2011 PEN/Robert Bingham Prize. The collection's title echoes a line from "The Bridge Poem," from Kate Rushin's collection The Black Back-Ups (Firebrand Books, 1993).[3] Reviewing the book in The New York Times, Lydia Peelle observed that the stories "evoke the thrill of an all-night conversation with your hip, frank, funny college roommate."[4]

Evans's work was anthologized in Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Best American Short Stories collections in 2008 and 2010. Her stories have also appeared in The Paris Review and A Public Space. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Literature at American University,[5] and in 2014 began teaching in the MFA program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[6]
