Kendra Shaw

Kendra Shaw is the author of the forthcoming debut novel The Pillagers' Guide to Arctic Pianos, a multigenerational story set in the far reaches of the arctic, where descendants of early homesteaders discover an underwater treasure trove of heirloom instruments that have been perfectly preserved in the frigid waters for centuries, and where families are bound together by their resourceful means of adapting to warming oceans and rising sea levels.

Kendra holds an MFA from the University of Michigan. She has held fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Vermont Studio Center. Shaw's short stories have appeared in StoryQuartery; the Antioch Review, and the Mid-American Review. She now serves on the City Council of Billings, Montana, the largest city in the state.
