Emily Matchar

I’m a writer and author originally from North Carolina

My debut novel, In the Shadow of the Greenbrier, a multi-generational saga about a Jewish family living near the iconic Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, will be published in March 2024 by Putnam at Penguin Random House. Before turning to fiction, I was a journalist for many years.

When I’m not working, I like to hike, cook, garden, try new foods, and travel with my husband and two sons.
