Aurora Bonner is a writer and teacher whose work is rooted in place. Her essays and creative nonfiction explore how noticing—of environment, memory, and of lived experience—informs both storytelling and the craft of writing.

​

Her published essays and articles appear in journals including Cleaver Magazine, HerStry, Impost, and Hippocampus Magazine, as well as the anthologies Rivers, Ridges, and Valleys: Essays on Rural Pennsylvania, shortlisted for the WCoNA Book of the Year, and DINE. She also writes book reviews for Colorado Review and Hippocampus Magazine.

​

Aurora speaks regularly on writing, leads writing and embodiment workshops, and teaches writing at the college level. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Wilkes University.

​

Through her Substack, Root Down to Write Up, she writes about writing and the creative life by exploring embodiment, craft, and the art of noticing.
