Word Wrinkles

Laurel Dile King is a writer and teacher and runs a manuscript consultation service. She has led writing retreats in Tuscany, Maine, and Rocky Neck Artist’s Colony in Gloucester. Her fiction has been published in Brevity and Echo, a Rose Metal Press anthology, The Worcester Magazine, and elsewhere. With the exception of that greasy summer she worked as a cook at Perkins Pancake House, each of her jobs—beginning as a counselor at Camp-Dig-a-Book—has dealt with serving up words in a more palatable way.
