Leigh Bardugo is an Israeli-American fantasy author and executive producer for two TV series adapted from her novels. She was raised by her grandparents in the United States, where she graduated with a degree in English from Yale University in the spring of 1997.[1] She was a member of the Wolf's Head secret society at Yale.[2]
Bardugo suffers of osteonecrosis and sometimes needs to use a cane; this was a source of inspiration for one of the for Kaz Brekker, a protagonist of Six of Crows, who uses a cane.[3]
Relationship with the fandom
Bardugo had a long term presence on social media where she interacted with fans at the time of the releases of Six of Crows, an example is Tumblr. She deactivated her account on June 17, 2021. In 2023, Bardugo started an Instagram Broadcast Channel, "Tea with Leigh", where she actively engages with fans, posting voice messages, polls, shares stories, photos and answers questions.
Hello hello! So this is an experiment. You know I'm not great at keeping up with social, and I'm hoping this broadcast channel thing will make it easier for me to share with you without feeling like I have to curate a post or a fancy reel. I'll be offering early access to excerpts and news and giveaways, and I'll also be able to create little sub channels for spoiler talk and writing advice should you desire them. But let's be real, it will also just be me sending you rambling voice messages and photos of Fred. I'm hoping this will keep us more connected, so fingers crossed and hope to see you there! Here we gooooo 🖤🖤Tea with Leigh on Instagram
Bardugo is also a fan of Merlin, especially the main characters, Arthur and Merlin, as can be seen in the archived pages of her Tumblr account.[4] Before deactivating her Tumblr account, she also reblogged fan content for her work, promoted her book launches, and blogged about events like the 2015 San Diego Comic Con when she commissioned with kevinwada a series of artwork that fans consider to be official portraits of the characters from Six of Crows.[5]
