Lindsey Wente is a creative nonfiction writer and educator living in Texas. Her work has appeared in Catapult, Hobart, on The Rose Books Hotline, and in other publications. Her genre-bending micro-chapbook, A Year in My Mother’s Basement, was released in 2021 as part of the Ghost City Press Summer Series.

She studied English and Theatre Arts at The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. In 2021, she received her MFA in creative writing from University of New Hampshire where she served as the creative nonfiction editor for Barnstorm Journal and received the Young Dawkins III Prize for best thesis. She is currently a multi-genre reader for CRAFT Literary.

When Lindsey is not working on her memoir-in-progress, she makes performance art and devised theater. She performed in swim team at The Minnesota Fringe Festival and the INVERSE Performance Art Festival at The Momentary in Bentonville, AK. In 2024, she toured FUCK YEAH in four major US cities and lived in a van for a week. Her favorite space is the intersection between weird theater stuff and gutsy literary writing.

Lindsey is seeking representation for her debut memoir. Contact her for more details.
