Fiona Maazel

Fiona Maazel (born 1975, Cleveland) is a writer and freelance editor. Her work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, Tin House, Bomb, The Mississippi Review, The Village Voice, The Boston Book Review and on salon.com. She is a 2008 National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" honoree, winner of the Bard Fiction Prize for 2009, and in 2005, she was awarded a Lannan Literary Fellowship.

Maazel's first novel, Last Last Chance, was published in March 2008 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. It tells the story of Lucy Clark, a drug addict with a complicated family and a difficult life. The New York Times said of the book: "'Last Last Chance' isn't your average novel, thanks in no small part to Maazel's funny, lacerating prose."

She lives in Brooklyn and is working on her next novel.
