Avery Hastings is an author and former book editor from New York City. She grew up in
Ohio, graduated from the University of Notre Dame and earned her MFA at
the New School. When she's not reading or writing, Avery can usually be
found in the park with her affable dog, and like her protagonists, she
knows how to throw a powerful right hook and once dreamed of becoming a
ballerina. In addition to New York, Avery has recently lived in Mumbai
and Paris, but is happy to call Brooklyn home (for now).
