2027 Author-in-Residence

Katy Hays is a Californian, writer, and cake aficionado. She works as an adjunct Art History Professor teaching rural students from Truckee to Tecopa. She holds an MA in Art History from Williams College and pursued her PhD in Art History at UC Berkeley. Her academic writing has been published by Ashgate, an imprint of Routledge. Occasionally her humor writing appears in McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.

When not writing (or eating cake) Katy is a skier, cyclist, trail runner, Eastern Sierra enthusiast, and—well, reader. She lives in the shadow of the Sierra with her husband.
