Amy Marsh

Amy Marsh lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, where she tries to follow Grace Paley’s advice to writers to keep a low overhead. She is revising an essay collection set in her neighborhood, which has been besieged by a rogue bulldozer, flood, and fugitive. She also writes plays and is working on a novel about a fortune-teller in early Fairbanks.
