Author Snapshot

Jennifer S. Brown

Jennifer S. Brown is the author of Modern Girls, which was a Goodreads Choice Award semifinalist for Historical Fiction, a Massachusetts Book Award "Must Read," and a USA Today bestseller. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney's, Fiction Southeast, Southeast Review, Hippocampus Magazine, Cognoscenti, and Bellevue Literary Review, among other places.

Jennifer has a BFA in film and television from New York University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington.
