Hillary Colton

Education Programs Manager

Hillary manages The Cabin’s educational programs, from Writing Workshops to Writers in the Schools. She holds a BA in Rhetoric as well as an MFA in Creative Writing from Boise State University. 

Before joining The Cabin, Hillary taught fiction writing at Boise State University and was part of The Idaho Review’s editing staff. Hillary is currently working on her first novel, which she slowly picks at whenever she finds the time. 

Hillary is a proud parent of thirtyish houseplants and two human children. Aside from her kiddos, Hillary’s best friend is an eighty-pound husky mix who loves mealtime and ingesting socks. (And yes, she actually wants to see photos of your pets and children.) If writers always turned out to be as outstanding as their work, she’d love to chat with the late Raymond Carver.
