Edith Pearlman has published over one hundred and fifty stories in national magazines, literary journals, anthologies, and on-line publications. Her work has appeared in Best American Short Stories, the O. Henry Prize Collection, Best Short Stories from the South, and The Pushcart Prize Collection. Her first collection of stories, Vaquita, won the Drue Heinz Prize for Literature, and her second, Love Among The Greats, won the Spokane Annual Fiction Prize. Her third, How to Fall, was published by Sarabande Press in February 2005. It won the Mary McCarthy Prize.

Pearlman's short essays have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, Smithsonian, Preservation, Yankee and Ascent. Her travel writing - about the Cotswolds, Budapest, Jerusalem, Paris, and Tokyo - has been published in the New York Times and elsewhere; but she is a New Englander by birth and preference. She grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and now lives with her husband in Brookline, Massachusetts. She has two grown children and a grandson.

Edith Pearlman has worked in a computer firm and a soup kitchen; she has served in Brookline's Town Meeting; her hobbies are reading, walking, and matchmaking.
