About Haley
Haley Hix is a historical fiction and fantasy writer based in New York City.
Originally from Tennessee, she holds a Bachelor of Science in biology and a Master of Arts. She has worked in the field of arboriculture for over a decade, and the resiliency of trees has been an endless source of inspiration for her writing.
Her writing reflects her passion for the natural world, weaving themes of history, environment, and the profound connections between people and place. When she’s not writing, you can find her practicing medieval calligraphy or watercolor, or exploring NYC’s beautiful green spaces—especially her favorite, The MET Cloisters.
Haley is represented by Mark Gottlieb at Trident Media Group.
