About Victoria
Victoria Melekian lives in Carlsbad, California. She’s a retired court reporter who loves words. Now that she’s no longer confined to conference rooms capturing every do you recall, isn’t it true, she has time to play with her own words: stories, flash fiction, a novella-in-flash, and poems, poems, poems. She messes around with flowers in the garden, tip-toes around bird nests, and goes for a walk almost every morning. She and her husband swear they’ll never get another dog, but it’s only a matter of time.

Victoria Melekian's novella-in-flash A Slow Boat to Finland was a runner-up in the 2018 Bath Novella-in-Flash Award judged by Meg Pokrass.
