Hillary Colton

Education Programs Manager

Hillary manages The Cabin’s education programs, which include Writers in the Schools and Summer Writing Camps. Additionally, with Public Programs Manager Joel Wayne, she co-runs Adult Writing Workshops. She holds a BA in English and an MFA in fiction writing from Boise State University.

Before joining The Cabin, Hillary taught fiction writing at Boise State University and was part of The Idaho Review’s editing staff. She was a 2023 recipient of an Alexa Rose Grant and a finalist in the 2023 American Short Fiction flash contest. You can find her work in Medusa’s Laugh Press and Fractured Literary. She is currently working on her first novel.

Hillary is a proud parent of two human children and a high-energy doggo. In her free time, she enjoys camping, hiking, embroidery, and making amateur pottery (which all serve as forms of procrastination from finishing her novel).
