About Tracey Palmer

Tracey Palmer is founder of Palmer Communications, editor of Dead Darlings, and a regular contributor to Cognoscenti at WBUR, Boston's NPR station. A scholarship graduate of Grub Street’s Novel Incubator, Tracey's first, unpublished novel was named a finalist in the Writer’s League of Texas manuscript competition. She was a scholarship recipient at the Salty Quill Writers Retreat and selected to attend the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She's currently seeking representation for her novel, ALIVE DAY, a gritty, upmarket drama about a wounded soldier who returns from Afghanistan to a son who needs her to be a mother, not a soldier—but if she can't control her nightmares and come to terms with what really happened in Kandahar, she could lose her boy, and even herself.
