About Leigh Smith

Leigh Smith is a writer and editor with a passion for sustainability, plant-based nutrition, and the perfect cup of coffee. Her diverse background in education and love for all things beautiful inspire her work, both fiction and non.

Constantly seeking new knowledge while obsessively exploring the world around her, Leigh is probably in the middle of at least three books with a couple of podcasts thrown in.

Leigh’s journey has taken her from the sunshine state of Florida to the Green Mountains of Vermont, the golden coast of California (twice!), wild and wonderful West Virginia, and the bluegrass state of Kentucky. She now lives in Ohio.

She can be found hiking nearby trails or monopolizing tables in local coffee shops. Check out her website, LinkedIn, or Instagram.
