Sylvie Baggett was born and raised on a lavender farm in the middle of nowhere, North Carolina. Her creative writing explores the dichotomy of nature, the South, and humanity. She has received nominations for the 2018 A.W.P. Intro Journal Award Project, the 2024 Pushcart Prize, and the 2024 Best American Essays collection.

As an editor, she deftly polishes work without compromising a writer’s distinctive voice. She takes great pleasure in rearranging a sentence, sometimes for hours on end.

Her work has appeared in VinePair, Virginia Living magazine, THOM magazine, Medscape, Savannah magazine, BUST magazine, Off Assignment, and more.
