Rosanne Tolin

Co-Editor, Fiction Editor

Rosanne Tolin is a St. Louis native living in the Chicago area. She is the author of Freedom’s Game (Reycraft, 2024) and More Than Marmalade (Chicago Review Press, 2020). Her books have won honors from the National Council for the Social Studies/the Children’s Book Council (NCSS/CBC), the Indiana Authors Awards, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Rosanne is on the editorial committee of About Write, the official craft column of the Off Campus Writers Workshop, a long-running literary community based in Chicago. She freelances for her not so 9-to-5, taking frequent snack breaks to satisfy her (unbound) obsession for eating peanut butter straight from the jar. When she’s not working, Rosanne enjoys hiking with her dogs in the Indiana Dunes or Colorado’s Tenmile Range. Off the trail, you can find her online at rosannetolin.com.
