Peter Malone Elliott is an author, screenwriter, and developmental editor.

Born and raised in Virginia, he now lives in Brooklyn, 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 by Level Best Books in January 2024. Other notable writing achievements include a 2022 Leo Award nomination for "Best Screenwriting, Motion Picture" and winning the Grand Prize of the 2018 Script Pipeline Screenwriting Competition. When Peter’s not writing, editing, or reading, you can find him kickboxing, playing soccer, climbing a mountain, or roughhousing with his pit bull in Prospect Park.
