SUSANNE SALEHI (she/they)
is a queer Iranian writer residing in the American South with their partner and two cats. She’s a Taurus, sticker collector, and puzzle fiend that’s happiest when reading, cross stitching, gardening, or accumulating silly tattoos. With two previous degrees in anthropology, they’re acquiring the third: Emerson College’s MFA in popular fiction writing and publishing. She works full time at a public health nonprofit while volunteering on the board of an LGBTQ+ Pride organization. They write the queer heroes they’ve always needed to see.
