Fletcher Hayes

Fletcher Hayes writes contemporary fiction about adults who have already lost a thing they thought they were not going to lose, and who are figuring out what to do with the rest of it. Her work tends to be quiet on the outside and loud underneath. She has a particular interest in professional lives and emotional lives that are running on different tracks until, suddenly, they aren’t. She lives in North Carolina. She plays padel poorly and often. She reads more nonfiction than is probably good for a novelist. Everything Comes Back is her first novel.
