Leigh McMullan Abramson

LEIGH MCMULLAN ABRAMSON has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, Tablet Magazine and more. She grew up in New York City, the daughter of a children's author and an illustrator. Leigh's parents often collaborated on picture books—many based on Leigh's own childhood experiences.

She practiced law for several years before following her passion for writing. Leigh now lives in New York City and Vermont with her husband and two young children.
