Pine Crest Upper School Student Publishes Original Short Story in TriQuarterly
December 9th 2025
Pine Crest Upper School student Kat Sutton ’26 recently had her original short story, “Waxing Nostalgic,” accepted for publication by “TriQuarterly,” a major national literary journal.
In “Waxing Nostalgic,” a grieving elementary school teacher clings to the comfort of crayons. The crayons were once a connection to his students and young son and are now a coping mechanism following his wife’s terminal cancer diagnosis. The story explores themes of loss, memory and healing through a poignant and emotionally resonant lens.
TriQuarterly, published by Northwestern University, is a highly respected literary journal that features fiction, nonfiction, poetry and hybrid work from emerging and established writers. Acceptance to this publication is a notable achievement in the world of creative writing and publishing.
In addition to her literary success, Kat also holds a position as Content Editor for “The Adroit Journal,” another nationally recognized publication known for highlighting the work of talented high school and college-aged writers alongside prominent voices in contemporary literature.
Congratulations, Kat!
