Peter Malone Elliott is a writer and developmental editor

Born and raised in Virginia, he now lives in New York, but still holds the magic of the mountains and Southern living near and dear to his heart. His debut novel, BLUE RIDGE, was released to critical acclaim and nominated for “Best Debut Mystery” at the 2025 Lefty Awards. He is also a Leo Award nominated screenwriter and vastly experienced publishing professional. When Peter’s not writing, editing, or reading, you can find him kickboxing, playing soccer, climbing a mountain, or roughhousing with his senior pit bull, Panda.
