Caitlin Barasch

I primarily read literary fiction (with the occasional thriller or romance!) and short story collections.

Formerly: bookseller. Currently: creative writing instructor for adults & teens.

I enjoy traveling, bouldering, horseback riding, eating, wandering NYC, hiking, doting on my orange tabby cat... the list goes on.

As a reader and as a writer, I'm bored of the "likable" vs "unlikeable" binary re: female characters. I'm drawn to complicated, flawed, unhinged characters (aka human beings...) who make mistakes. And I'm always open to book recs along these lines!

I'm a former travel editor who has gotten to visit 47 countries and I met my husband Nick in the Galapagos islands on a reporting trip. After living in NYC and San Francisco I have settled into Philadelphia (the greatest city on Earth) to raise my three feral children.)
