Simi Monheit

An enthusiastic and compassionate storyteller, Simi Monheit brings warmth, wit, and emotional honesty to stories about tradition, technology, and the chaos of the human heart. Her fiction finds humor in life's contradictions and poignancy in its ordinary moments. She is also a speaker, sharing stories as a second-generation descendant of a Kindertransport survivor.

Her debut novel, The Goldie Standard, was named one of Kirkus Reviews' 100 Best Indie Books of 2024.

She lives in California with her husband. Their adult daughter lives in Canada, where she works as an oceanographer. Simi is inordinately proud of that.
