About Me

My name is Donna Owczarek, and I’m a writer who lives on Long Island with my husband Nick, two feisty felines, and our three rescued dogs – the inspiration for all of my work.

My short story, “Glimmer,” won first place in the American Kennel Club’s 25th Annual Fiction Competition and appeared in the July/Aug 2012 issue of Family Dog Magazine.

“Glimmer” was also chosen as a nominee for the Dog Writers Association of America’s 2012 Maxwell Medallion in the category of “short fiction.”

Two of my other short tales, “The Lead” and “A Brief Affair,” each won second place in the American Kennel Club’s 22nd and 23rd Annual Fiction Writing Competitions in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

“A Brief Affair” also appeared in the Summer 2011 issue of Celebrating Greyhounds Magazine.

I’m proud to be represented by Sara D’Emic of Talcott Notch Literary Services, who is currently submitting my first novel to publishers while I’m hard at work on my second one. And if you haven’t already guessed, both of these books have a canine star amongst their cast of characters.
