Leah Butterwick is an emerging writer who grew up in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, a town that definitely exists even if it sounds made up. After traveling around the Northeast U. S., the U. K., and a fun stint in Western Europe, she crossed the U. S. and has settled in the Pacific Northwest, where she’s adopted the world’s two most polite cats. Leah writes fiction, with a particular focus on flash fiction, and is finishing her MFA in Creative Writing degree at Eastern Washington University, where she also teaches Composition.
