LAUREN GROFF is a New York Times-bestselling author, three-time National Book Award finalist, Guggenheim recipient, and one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024. Groff continues to be one of the most exciting and productive literary minds of her generation.

Her titles include the novels Matrix, The Vaster Wilds, Fates & Furies, Arcadia, and The Monsters of Templeton, as well as the story collections Florida and Delicate Edible Birds. Elle magazine says, “Groff is not only one of our ‘finest living writers,’ according to Hernan Diaz; she’s also one of our finest and most beloved literary citizens.” In February 2026, Riverhead Books will publish her new story collection Brawler. According to Kirkus Reviews, “Brawler reveals the repeated, sometimes heartbreaking turning points between love and fear, compassion and violence, reason and instinct, altruism and what it takes to survive.”

Her work regularly appears in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and elsewhere, and has been translated into 36 languages. Groff has been a featured author in the Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series on three occasions, for Fates & Furies, Matrix, and The Vaster Wilds. She lives in Gainesville, Florida, where she and her husband own the independent bookstore, The Lynx.

Rosa Boshier González’s essays, fiction, and criticism appear in publications such as Guernica, Ploughshares, Lithub, Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, The Believer, The Guardian, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and the Washington Post. She is a PhD Candidate in the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program, where she has been a recipient of an Inprint Fondren Foundation Fellowship, winner of an Inprint Marion Barthelme Gulf Coast Prize, and editor-in-chief of Gulf Coast. She has also received support from the Andy Warhol Foundation and a Fulbright Fellowship. She teaches creative writing at Rice University.

Rohan Chhetri is the author of Lost, Hurt, or in Transit Beautiful, published by HarperCollins in India, Tupelo Press in the US, and Platypus Press in the UK. He was a recipient of an Inprint C. Glenn Cambor Fellowship and an Inprint Donald Barthelme Prize in Poetry at the University of Houston, where he completed his doctoral studies and co-edited (with poet Kazim Ali) Shreela Ray: The Life and Work of an American Master as part of the Unsung Masters Series. His poems and translations have appeared in The Paris Review, Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day, Poetry London, The Progressive, and Modern Poetry in Translation, among others. He is the Anisfield-Wolf Distinguished Visiting Writer for the spring semester of 2026 at Case Western Reserve University.
