Regina Marler writes for the New York Review of Books and elsewhere. While still a graduate student, she was chosen by the estate of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell to edit Selected Letters of Vanessa Bell. She followed this with Bloomsbury Pie: The Making of the Bloomsbury Boom, and Queer Beats: How the Beats Turned America on to Sex. Her fiction has appeared in The North American Review, Cimarron Review, Carolina Quarterly, Calyx, Chattahoochee Review, and other journals, and her journalism and criticism in The New York Times Book Review, the Advocate, the Times Literary Supplement, the New York Observer, The Rumpus, Dame, New York Magazine’s The Cut, the Signet Classics, and elsewhere. Recent publications include essays in the Cambridge Companion to Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell (exhibition catalogue, Dulwich Picture Gallery, curated by Sarah Milroy), and Queer Bloomsbury (Edinburgh UP).
Regina’s work has been honored with a Yaddo residency, the Margarita Donnelly Prize for Prose Writing, honorable mention in a Pushcart Prize anthology, and the Swarthout Fellowship. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is building a garden in an old apple orchard.
