Hello, and welcome! I'm a novelist and essayist, and happy you're here. 

My debut novel, HYSTERIA, was published in 2020 by Unnamed Press. My nonfiction has appeared in The Los Angeles Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, and The Paris Review Dailyamong other places. I live in West Texas with my husband, Matt, and our dog, Benji. We all have the same hair.

I've received fellowships in fiction from the Yiddish Book Center (2017) and the 14th Street Y (2015-16), where I also served as editor of the LABA Journal. I have taught fiction and nonfiction writing at The New School in New York, NY and Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX.

I'm represented by the magnificent Stephanie Delman at Trellis Literary Management: sdelman@trellisliterary.com. For film/TV inquiries, please contact (the also magnificent!) Tara Timinsky at Grandview: Tara@grandviewla.com.
