Ansel Greeley (b. 1983) is an American writer and archivist from Dayton, Ohio. He studied urban planning at Miami University and spent a decade cataloging municipal records for Rust Belt towns, work that shaped his fascination with maps, memory, and civic myth. His short fiction has appeared in small magazines, and his debut story collection, Salt Flats at Night, received a regional new-writer prize in 2017. He leads an oral history project with retired factory workers and lives in Columbus with his partner and a retired greyhound.
