Will Leitch started his career as a journalist and founded Deadspin in 2005, one of the first major sports blogs.

His non-fiction books God Save the Fan and Are We Winning? reflect his passion for sports culture.

Leitch turned to fiction with Catch in 2005, but it was How Lucky (2021) that established him as a novelist.
