Lily Finch

Lily Finch, an Ontario native writer, writes short fiction and non-fiction stories. She holds three Bachelor of Arts Honours Degrees in English Language and Literature, Spanish Language and Literature, and Religious Studies from the University of Windsor. In addition to those degrees, she also holds a Master of Arts degree in Leadership and Training from Royal Roads University, located in Sooke, British Columbia. Lily writes literary fiction, thrillers, horrors, and crime stories. Her creative non-fiction is pulled from people’s stories she has heard along her life journey. Her work has appeared in Half Hour to Kill, Spillwords, The Write Launch, and One and Half, to name a few. She was longlisted in the Globe Soup Short Story Competition and received an honourable mention in the 24-Hour Writing Contest. Lily spends most months writing in her backyard with her faithful companion by her side. She enjoys the same outdoor space with her children and husband in the pool or trampoline when she is not writing. She also enjoys trips to places where they can bike, hike, swim, kayak, and camp, carrying their packs as they move along a trail that covers kilometres. Her entire family enjoys a private location in a Central American country every two years for half a month. Lily finds happiness in life; she sees it for what it is, a gift.
