Anya Leigh Josephs
Hi! I’m Anya (they/she), and I’m a writer of literary-inflected speculative fiction for young adult and adult readers. A full list of my fiction publications (as well as links where you can find many of my works) can be found below.
A little about me: I am based in NYC, where I work as a psychotherapist. I love theatre, especially Shakespeare, and have a wonderful cat named Sycorax. I am a Jewish, queer, and neurodivergent person, and those identities often show up in my writing.
Have a question or want to say hi? You can reach me here!
