Cathy Rigg

Cathy Rigg was born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia where her people, on her mother’s side, go back seven generations. She moved to South Carolina after college and founded the brand marketing firm, Riggs Partners. Rigg’s debut novel, That Which Binds Us, was published in June of 2025 by Keylight Books, and her fiction and poetry have appeared in Litmosphere: Journal of Charlotte Lit, Still: the Journal, Clinch Mountain Review, and other publications. She and her husband divide their time between Columbia, SC, and Burnsville, NC, where they stare at the view and obsess over the bears on a ridge high above Asheville.
