Margot Sullivan

I spent twelve years as a book editor in New York before I admitted that the thing I actually wanted to do was write.

That was 2016. I quit my job, moved to a rented farmhouse in the Hudson Valley, and wrote my first novel in six months of total panic.

Four books later, I'm still here. Still panicking, a little. I write about ordinary people making decisions they can't take back — the kind of choices that look small from the outside but rearrange everything.
