Anastasia Kirchoff is...

originally from wintery northern Wisconsin and now lives in the almost as frigid Twin Cities of Minnesota. She attended college at the University of Wisconsin Superior, where she studied creative writing and Spanish. After college she lived in South America, where she taught English as a second language. Throughout her life she's been a waitress, hypochondriac, teacher, gymnastics coach, insomniac, marketing specialist, check-out-er at a hardware store, and the most painful thing; the job that still gives her stress dreams years later: a call center representative.

​

She writes surrealism and speculative fiction. Her work often includes LGBTQ themes, fantasy elements, suspense and dashes of body and existenetial horror. She crafts flawed but compelling protagonists in stories with glittery, arresting prose.
