Originally from Long Island, Leigh Rastivo now hides out in the mountains of Appalachia, writing darkly humorous fiction, about identity and what it costs to leave (or lose) home.

Leigh is also a book critic, offering in-depth, close-read analyses and reviews of contemporary literature.

She holds an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars, and her work has appeared in L’Esprit Literary Review, MicroLit Almanac, The Arts Fuse, and elsewhere, with more publications forthcoming.
