Rafi Mittlefehldt is the author of It Looks Like This, a coming-of-age debut novel about a shy gay teen whose hesitant crush on another boy spirals horribly out of control.

Raised in Houston, Rafi worked briefly as a reporter for a small-town newspaper in Central Texas, where he once wrote a story about a local woman's frog figurine collection. He now works in publishing and volunteers for I'm From Driftwood, a non-profit that collects and posts LGBTQ stories from around the world.

He lives in Brooklyn with his husband Damien and dog Betty. Follow him on Twitter at @rafimitt.
