Haley Jakobson (she/her) is an author and playwright living in Brooklyn, NY. In her work she explores queerness, girlhood, brains, and bodies. Haley’s debut novel OLD ENOUGH is a New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Lambda Literary Award finalist for best bisexual fiction, and is described by Vogue as being “full of winsome bisexual chaos.” Her sophomore novel, CAVEGIRL, is forthcoming from Penguin Random House x Dutton Books.

When she isn’t writing (on the subway) or eating (bodega sandwiches), Haley has the privilege of teaching her Writing With Confidence Workshop, connecting writers across the globe. Haley is represented by Ayla Zuraw-Friedland at Frances Goldin Literary Agency.

Haley is a gemini apologist and an absolutely killer follow on instagram.
