Lee Anderson (they/them) is a trans writer with roots in the American -west and an MFA from Northern Arizona University. They have been published sporadically but with zest, appearing in places such as Aquifer: The Florida Review Online, Brevity, Salt Hill Journal, The Rumpus, Columbia Journal, and Gertrude. They’ve also been anthologized in the Best American Food and Travel Writing 2025. (You can read more about them and all of the cool things they’ve been lucky to do in the “ABOUT” page.)
They are currently working on a hybrid novel about social alienation, queer phenomenology, lesbian breakups, and citrus, and a speculative road trip memoir about grief, transition (gender, climate, and otherwise), and personal mythologies. There is never a time they aren’t juggling several essays on similar subjects.
They are an Assistant Editor for Best of the Net Awards, Managing Editor for Half Mystic, on the editorial board for Sundress Publications, and occasionally garden, do arts & crafts, and hang out with their cat Pretzel.
