Biography
Spiotta was born in 1966 in New Jersey. Her father, son of Italian immigrants, worked for Mobil Oil, and his constant moving made Spiotta a perennial "new-kid". Her parents met at Hofstra while acting in play by fellow student Francis Ford Coppola. In 1979, her father began running Coppola's Zoetrope Studios.[6] She attended Crossroads School and went on to Columbia University, but dropped out at the end of her sophomore year. She moved to Seattle and eventually enrolled at Evergreen State College and studied labor history and creative writing.[6]
She teaches in the Syracuse University MFA creative writing program along with George Saunders, Mary Karr.[7] Spiotta lives in the historic John G. Ayling House in Syracuse, New York with her daughter and partner, writer Jonathan Dee.[8]
