My name is Krystyn Hartman. I'm a professional writer and former niche magazine publisher. I am a fgraduate student in the MFA in Creative Writing program at Western Colorado University. My BA degree is in Russia Area Studies from University of Texas at Arlington. I also spent decades performing side gigs as a recording and big band vocalist, retiring finally from that in 2022.
Happily married living in Colorado, I enjoy a variety of creative projects. Creativity is oftentimes the only counteroffensive we have to all the pain and devastation in the world. So, I rebel with every creative idea, whether I'm penning a limerick or sewing a notebook or studying a piece of legislation in school.
As with most people, there are events and people in my life that impacted me more than others — some good and some not so good, but all were instrumental in shaping who I was and who I am today, or what is left of me. I share my backstories with gratitude. I feel strangely lucky to still be here.
