About​​​​​​​

Heather Siegel is the award-winning author of two memoirs, a YA novel, and a forthcoming debut women’s fiction novel, currently represented by the Jennifer Lyons Literary Agency.

A former foster child and lifelong outsider, Heather grew up watching from the margins—an accidental anthropologist drawn to the invisible dynamics of families, friendships, and belonging. That instinct to observe led her to pursue an MFA in Creative Nonfiction at The New School and continues to shape the heart of her storytelling.

Her coming-of-age memoir, Out from the Underworld, was a finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award, and her follow-up, The King and the Quirky, won the Next Generation Indie Book Award’s Gold Medal for Women’s Issues. Her essays have appeared in HuffPost Personal, Salon, and numerous anthologies and literary journals.

Originally from California and New York, Heather now lives in South Florida, where she coaches student writers and walks her Golden Retriever through the Everglades—always noticing what doesn’t quite belong.
