ABOUT ME

A transplant from the American Midwest, I now live near the mountains of Colorado with my family and a rescue dog named Ziggy.

 

Described as a writer of "whimsical angst," I'm an Odyssey Workshop graduate, a member of Codex, and currently working toward my MFA in the USM Stonecoast program.  

My short stories have appeared in the Flame Tree Press anthology, Robots & Artificial Intelligence, Apparition Literary Magazine, NewMythsKaleidotrope, and more. Many of the stories are available online. If you would like to read more, check out my publications page for links.

You can find me on                  : @C_Piveral@wandering.shop or email me at chloiepiveral @ gmail dot com

REVIEWS

  • "The issue begins with 'This Is the Thing' by Chloie Piveral. Nice, effective tale with a good sense of unease."  -SFRevu

  • "A hissing respirator, a body trapped in an institution, and a mind looking for a way out… Piveral goes deep into the dreamlike, slip-sliding world of someone who isn’t all there and isn’t all gone either, and spins a chilling and suspenseful tale full." -Maria Haskins: 10 must-read fantasy & science fiction stories
