Jodi Sh. Doff is a New York-based writer, editor, and photographer. Her writing frequently includes autobiographical elements of drug-use, alcoholism, and the strip clubs and nightlife of New York City's Times Square. Chicago Now declared her stories about "the underworld of drugs, sex and violence in the 80s" to be "heartbreaking" and the New York Times Book Review compared her prose to that of Henry Miller.
She is a mentor with the PEN America Prison Writing Program, and was awarded an M.F.A in Creative Writing from Lesley University where she currently advises a graduate seminar in the art of memoir.
