Patti F. Smith​

Picture
Patti F. Smith

​Patti Smith started writing on her mother’s old manual typewriter and hasn’t stopped. She quickly 

learned that her aptitude for fiction writing would not take her far as a lawyer, so she switched careers 
to become a special education teacher. She began her teaching career in Detroit Public Schools, and 
found she still couldn’t use her creative writing skills so she started writing young adult books set in the 
(now demolished) school where she taught students with visual impairments and learning disabilities.

Patti lives in the greatest city on earth—Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is an author of local historical fiction, 

including Images of America: Downtown Ann Arbor, and the forthcoming A People’s History of the 
People’s Food Co-Op. She enjoys public speaking, storytelling, doing improv, playing the ukulele, doing 
old timey country dancing, and being very involved in her hometown. She also writes for Concentrate 
Media, Mittenbrew, and other local periodicals. 

She is happily married to Ken Anderson, and the stepmom to two cats. If you get her talking about Ann 
Arbor, be prepared to learn more about it than you ever thought possible.
