I was born and grew up in Akron, Ohio. I live in Newark, New Jersey.

I am an associate professor with the Bard Early College Seminar Sequence program.

I write a newsletter called The Off Beat. I contribute to the webzine Zona Motel.

My writing is in Jacobin, Vice, Labor Notes, Hobart, and other places. 

I wrote two books: Walls (novel, 2014) and A Very Small Forest Fire (stories, 2018). If you’re interested in buying/reading them, email me: andrewworthington87@gmail.com
