Judith Stiles

From her Cape Cod studio, Judith Newcomb Stiles creates original ceramics inspired by vibrant colors of the seashore. While she waits for her pots to dry, she writes essays, fiction, and news articles for the Italian publication Ytali Global, covering all things American.

Her short stories and literary essays can be found in Europa Quotidiano, Hemingway Shorts, Kenyon Review (honorable mention), Room (first place, creative nonfiction competition 2024), The Ex-Puritan, and the New York Times.

Stiles lives in the Wellfleet house where her great grandmother was born, but the ghosts are benevolent and rarely bother anyone. She commutes thirty steps to her pottery studio and three blocks to The Newcomb Hollow Shop & Gallery for good gossip, tasty chocolate, and the pottery and jewelry she cooks up in her studio for sale.

She lives with her partner in crime, Mr. O’Hara, who helps clean up the house when their 3 kids, Julia, Jane, and Johnny come to visit.
