Layne Fargo writes dark, dramatic stories that support women’s rights—and also women’s wrongs. She’s the author of the novels THEY NEVER LEARN and TEMPER, co-author of the #1 bestselling Audible Original series YOUNG RICH WIDOWS, and co-creator of the UNLIKEABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS podcast on Lit Hub Radio.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Layne worked as a dramaturg, a librarian, and a knowledge manager, and she still loves going down a good research rabbit hole. She lives in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago with a rescue pit bull and cat who are best friends, the only man she never wants to murder (well, almost never), and way too many books.

Layne Fargo hasn't written any blog posts yet.
