Kelly Link is an American author of short stories born in 1969 (judging by this 2001 article). Her stories might be described as slipstream: a combination of science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and realism.

Link is a graduate of Columbia University in New York and the MFA program of UNC Greensboro. In 1995 she attended the Clarion East Writing Workshop.

Link and husband Gavin Grant manage their own small press Small Beer Press, based in Northampton, Massachusetts. They also co-edit St. Martin's Press's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror anthology series, along with Ellen Datlow. (The couple inherited the "fantasy" side from Terri Windling in 2004.) Link was also the slush reader for Sci Fiction, edited by Datlow. In an interview, Link cited Dave Sim as a source of information on self-publishing.

Link taught at Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, North Carolina with the Visiting Writers Series for the spring semester of 2006. She also has taught or visited at a number of schools and workshops including Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; Brookdale Community College, Brookdale, NJ; the Imagination Workshop at Cleveland State University; New England Institute of Art & Communications, Brookline, MA; Clarion East at Michigan State University; and Clarion West in Seattle, WA. Her story "Stone Animals" appeared in the 2005 edition of The Best American Short Stories. She has also participated in The Juniper Summer Writing Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst's MFA Program for Poets & Writers.

Link and Grant live in Northampton, Massachusetts.
