Mr. Leitch's 2021 novel, How Lucky was an Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel in 2022. The novel also won the Alex Award in 2022 which honors novels written for adults that have special appeal for young adults. Both novels are published by Harper, the flagship imprint of HarperCollins Publishers and take place in Athens, Georgia.

Mr. Leitch writes regularly for New York Magazine, MLB.com, Medium, The New York Times and The Washington Post. He is the founder of the late website Deadspin and currently writes a weekly newsletter about sports, society, politics and writing.  Mr. Leitch's weekly newsletter is available for free at williamfleitch.substack.com.
