Of Laura Pritchett's seventh novel, Three Keys (Ballantine, 2024), Booklist had this to say: "A dedicated environmentalist and acclaimed nature writer, Pritchett’s keen observations of the world…are wondrous and lyrical, grounding her heroine’s journey in beauty and grace.” Pritchett's other novels include Playing with {Wild}Fire (Torrey House, 2024), The Blue Hour (Counterpoint, 2017), Red Lightning (Counterpoint, 2015) Stars Go Blue (Counterpoint, 2014), Sky Bridge (Milkweed Editions, 2009), and Hell's Bottom, Colorado (Milkweed Editions, 2001). Known for championing the complex and contemporary West, giving voice to the working class, and re-writing the “Western,” her books have garnered the PEN USA Award, the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, the WILLA, the High Plains Book Award, several Colorado Book Awards, and others. She’s also the author of one play, two nonfiction books, and editor of three environmental-based anthologies. She developed and directs the MFA in Nature Writing at Western Colorado University, one of the few in the nation with a focus on environmental and place-based writing. She earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University. When not writing or teaching, she can generally be found outside in Colorado’s mountains.
