Joanna Acevedo

Joanna Acevedo is the author of three books and two chapbooks. Born and raised in New York City, she earned her MFA from NYU in 2021, and also holds degrees from Bard College and the New School. Nominated for both the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, her work spans genres on the web and in print. As an editor, she’s worked on everything from the essays of medical student hopefuls to hybrid political thriller/fantasy novels, and she’s had every job in indie publishing at one time or another, from ghostwriter to event planner to market research hack. Most recently, she did a six-month stint as Editor-in-Chief of Frontier Poetry; currently, she is focusing on building accessible, community-based resources in arts education, using her skills for good, not evil, and absolutely not writing a novel.
