Andy Edge grew up in Martins Ferry, Ohio, a river town in the Appalachian foothills, and that’s where most of his stories end up. He writes literary fiction, screenplays, and poetry about small river towns, hard people, and what they’ll do to hold on to each other, often through a queer lens.
He serves on the board of the Write A Great Story Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring writers. He lives in Arizona with his husband and dogs.
