Jane Harrington teaches wordcraft and fairy tales at W&L University and in the graduate program at Hollins University. Jane's short fiction and creative nonfiction have been published widely in journals and anthologies, and her indie novel, IN CIRCLING FLIGHT, was the winner of the Brighthorse Prize and longlisted for the Crook's Corner Book Prize. Jane has also written best-selling books for the youth market (Scholastic, Lerner) and is a longtime member of the Authors Guild of New York and the Children’s Book Guild of Washington DC. Her newest book, WOMEN OF THE FAIRY TALE RESISTANCE (Black Dog & Leventhal, August 2025), is a work of creative nonfiction for all ages. From ALA's Booklist: "In this meticulously researched and gorgeously presented blend of biography and folklore, Harrington reclaims the origins of the fairy tale by introducing seven seventeenth-century French conteuses (female storytellers) whose lives and literary work dared to question the social norms of their time."
