Emily Mirengoff lives in the DC area and writes literary fiction. Her short stories explore the interpersonal dynamics between women. (If there were such a thing as a reverse Bechdel test, all of her stories would fail it.) Her next project, an epic novel, will cover three generations of French Jews living in Iran in the 20th century; it is inspired by her own family.
She is a Fiction Editor for TriQuarterly; she’s also read for Electric Literature, Ruminate, and the Center for Fiction. She has attended the Bread Loaf Writers Conference and the Kenyon Review Writers Conference. She earned her Bachelor’s in History from Dartmouth College and her Master’s in Communication from the University of Miami. She is an ardent traveler, singer, reader, and drinker of tea.
