Leslie Tall Manning

Leslie Tall Manning is an award-winning novelist who writes about grownups craving change and discovering it in ways they never expected (KNOCK ON WOOD, GAGA, MAGGIE's DREAM, and FERAL MARIL & HER LITTLE BROTHER CAROL). She also writes about teenagers who tumble into adulthood headfirst (RULES OF FALLING, UPSIDE DOWN IN A LAURA INGALLS TOWN, and I AM ELEPHANT, I AM BUTTERFLY). When she isn’t clacking away at the computer keys or conducting research for her books, she loves walking by the river in her historic Southern town, traveling with her artist husband, and laughing every chance she gets. She is proudly represented by the TriadaUS Literary Agency.
