Lucy Bryan is a writer, teacher, adventurer, mother, and lover of alpenglow, fungi, tiny streams, tall trees, native wildflowers, campfires, homegrown vegetables, thunderstorms, and tents.
She lives on a small homestead overlooking the Tuscarawas River in Coshocton County, Ohio. Twice a week, she makes the one-hour trip to Granville, Ohio to teach writing and journalism at Denison University. Her award-winning essays have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and listed as 'notable' in Best American Essays. Homebound Publications published Bryan’s first book, In Between Places: A Memoir in Essays, in June 2022.
She is currently working on a novel set in Ohio’s hill country about land and water, fracking waste, surrogacy, community, and the complicated business of putting down roots. When she’s not writing or teaching, she enjoys knitting, being in the woods with her son and daughter, cooking with her husband, and napping with her cat.
