Born and raised in British Columbia, Mira Landry now resides in Colorado with her husband. She studied Creative Writing at Simon Fraser University and spent three years working as a literary agent at a boutique agency. She presents workshops on publishing and craft across the continent and co-hosts a literary-forensics podcast called Writers Who Read.
