Dana Alison Levy was raised by pirates but escaped at a young age and went on to earn a degree in aeronautics and puppetry. Actually, that’s not true—she just likes to make things up. That’s why she always wanted to write books. She was born and raised in New England and studied English literature before going to graduate school for business. While there is value in all learning, had she known she would end up writing for a living, she might not have struggled through all those statistics and finance classes. The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher is her first published novel, but she has a trunk full of other attempts, which vary in degrees of awfulness.
Her first book for young adults, Above All Else, comes out in October 2020. In addit

New Book News! Now with FOXES!

I am so excited to share the news that my next book will be out in the fall of 2026! (Yes, it is a long time from now. No, I cannot write any faster. I tried).

This book is part of the reason I keep a card stuck to my desk that reads “What If?”

“It should be noted that even when you know something is a bad idea, even when you think you're expecting the worst, even when you're sure you're being realistic about the risks, it still hurts like whoa when the slap comes" -Theo”
Dana Alison Levy, It Wasn't Me

“[D]on't be so smart that you act stupid.”
Dana Alison Levy, The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher

“Personally, I think anyone who tries to start up a conversation at four o'clock in the morning to make fun of a person should be slapped with a flounder. (And in case you're wondering, yes, I do know what it feels like to be slapped with a slimy bottom-feeding fish. Ask Laurel about the fight we had when she was in sixth grade.)”
Dana Alison Levy, This Would Make a Good Story Someday
