Henry Snider is a founding member of the award-winning Colorado Springs Fiction Writer's Group (1996-2013), and Fiction Foundry (est. 2012). During the last two decades he's dedicated his time to helping others tighten their writing through critique groups, classes, lectures, prison prose programs and high school fiction contests. Thirteen years to the month from founding the group, he retired from the CSFWG presidency in January, 2009. After a much needed vacation he returned to the literary world. While still reserving enough time to pursue his own fiction aspirations, Henry continues to be active in the writing community through classes, editing services and advice. Henry lives with his wife, fellow author and editor Hollie Snider, son - poet Josh Snider and numerous neurotic animals, including, of course, Fizzgig, the token black cat.
