Miryam Sivan is a former New Yorker who has lived in Israel for nearly thirty years. She teaches literature and writing at the University of Haifa and has published scholarly articles on American and Israeli writers and a book -length study on Cynthia Ozick's fiction.

SNAFU and Other Stories was published in 2014 and Make it Concrete, a novel, was published in 2019. Love Match, her latest novel, will be coming out in February 2024.
