About Ashley

Ashley Redwood is writing her debut novel about the beautiful chaos of human connection, fueled by an obsession with the perfect pour-over. She happens to hold a Ph.D. in sociology which taught her that humans are far too wonderfully weird to fit into academic boxes. After years of studying stories from an academic lens, she discovered her own story was waiting to be written. Born and raised in northern Indiana, her writing always finds its way back to there, where complicated relationships unfold against a backdrop of Midwest charm and complexity.

When she's not eavesdropping at indie cafes for character inspiration or getting lost in hidden bookstores, she's writing stories that explore the depth and complexity of relationships. The Novelry's writing program helped her transform from lifelong reader to storyteller, and now she's crafting works that she hopes will resonate deeply with readers, building bridges through words—usually while wearing mismatched socks by choice, not accident. She lives in Oregon with her husband and two children.
