  <about><![CDATA[Born in Tunis to German parents, Ursula Pflug grew up in Toronto and attended the University of Toronto and The Ontario College of Art and Design. Formerly a graphic artist, Pflug began concentrating on her writing after moving to the rural Kawarthas to raise a family. Her first novel, the critically acclaimed magic realist/fantasy Green Music was published by Tesseract Books in 2002. Her long awaited story collection After the Fires was published by Tightrope Books in 2008. ATF received an Honourable Mention from the Sunburst Award Committee and was short-listed for the Aurora.  

An award winning writer of both genre and mainstream short fiction, she has published over fifty stories in professional publications in Canada, the United States and the UK, including Now Magazine, Quarry, Tesseracts, Leviathan, The Nine Muses, Strange Horizons, Fantasy, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Nemonymous, Back Brain Recluse, Transversions, Bamboo Ridge, Bandersnatch, Postscripts, Herizons and others. 

She has had several plays produced by professional companies, and was a contributing editor at The Peterborough Review for three years. Pflug’s first published short story, “Memory Lapse at The Waterfront” has been reprinted in After The Fires. Pflug wrote the script and storyboard for the short film version, directed by Carol McBride. “Waterfont” toured festivals and was purchased by WTN. 

Pflug has received numerous Canada Council, Ontario Arts Council and Laidlaw Foundation grants in support of her novels, short fiction, criticism and plays. She has previously been short-listed for the KM Hunter Award, the Descant Novella Contest, the Three Day Novel Contest, the Aurora Award and the Pushcart Prize.

Pflug entered journalism by writing about art for Now Magazine decades ago, and now writes regular reviews and essays about books for The Peterborough Examiner, The New York Review of Science Fiction, The Internet Review of Science Fiction and other publications. She mentors private clients in creative writing and teaches short fiction at Loyalist College.
