Iris Hill (she/they) is a transgender author of short fiction from Calgary, Alberta.

She is also involved in the Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society, and has spoken at When Words Collide, advocating for queer artists to share their stories. Her work is featured in the anthology Prairie Witch.
Come out for a memorable evening at the Stonyslope Brewing Company. Sample the beers and partake of the enticing menu! Sit back and enjoy an evening of storytelling and poetry, and if you are so inclined, sign up to share your work on the Open Mic.
