About

A.R. Vishny was born and raised in Massachusetts, but now calls New York City home. Her essays on Jewish representation in pop culture have appeared in Teen Vogue, The Washington Post, and Hey Alma. She earned a B.A. in English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a J.D. at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where she was a Law and Literature fellow. Her debut novel, Night Owls won the National Jewish Book Award and Sydney Taylor Book Award. When she’s not writing she’s at the theater, or else hunting for the perfect slice of cheesecake.
