Wiley Cash

Wiley Cash is the author of four novels, and the founder of This Is Working, an online creative community. Wiley gets up early to write and stays up late to read, and when he’s not writing or reading he spends time exploring the coasts and the mountains of his native North Carolina. Wiley grew up wanting to be a writer, and while he doesn’t quite feel grown up he hopes that he can keep this writing thing going for as long as possible, as he is completely unqualified to do anything else, except for teaching, which he does at the University of North Carolina-Asheville, where he serves as Alumni Author-in-Residence. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, photographer Mallory Cash, and their daughters.
