About

Sarah Jane Cody is a writer and adult-diagnosed autistic woman. She often uses surreal and magical elements in her fiction, especially as a means of conveying the experience of living with a divergent mind and body.

She’s also the author/illustrator of the Bathrobe Gal webcomic. She’s a singer and produces dark synthpop with her husband. She can occasionally be found performing on tiny stages (and frequently around campfires).She loves dancing, hiking, and seeking out the wonders of the natural world.

After growing up largely in the woods of Greenville, South Carolina, she spent over a decade of her adult life in the uproar of NYC and at last managed to escape to the haven of Western Massachusetts where she is at home with her trees.

She was an assistant prose editor for Pigeon Pages for three years (and a submissions reader for many more years, since near the time of the journal’s inception). She teaches creative writing classes for GrubStreet and Pioneer Valley Writers’ Workshop. She holds an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and is an alumna of Tin House Summer Writers’ Workshop. Her writing has been nominated for a Pushcart prize and other awards.
