Michael Sledge is an American writer. His 2010 debut novel The More I Owe You, about the relationship between Elizabeth Bishop and Lota de Macedo Soares, won the Ferro-Grumley Award in 2011 and was a shortlisted nominee for the Lambda Literary Award in the Lesbian Debut Fiction category at the 23rd Lambda Literary Awards.
