A. N. Devers was born in Warner Robins, Georgia, but is told she only lived there a few months before spending her childhood moving all over the United States. She divides her time between Brooklyn, NY and Asbury Park, NJ. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Bust magazine, the Brooklyn Rail, The Southampton Review, The Rumpus, TimeOut NY, Tin House, and The Washington Post. She is on the editorial board at Pen America: A Journal for Writers & Readers. She  teaches in the English Department at Adelphi University and received her MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. She is the editor of writershouses.com, a website for literary pilgrims everywhere.

When she is not reading, writing, teaching, or yoga-ing, she is visiting writers’ houses. Or she’s in bed.
