Hi! I’m Monica Williams.

I’m an author and recovering academic (Ph.D., Sociology, University of California, Davis). I’ve written hundreds of pieces including an award-winning personal essay, short stories, novels, poems, non-fiction books, and academic journal articles. My work has been published by New York University Press and the League of Utah Writers. I’m currently working on a memoir about my struggles to transform myself from a head-on-a-stick academic to an embodied human being. When I’m not writing, I love hiking, camping, snowboarding, and traveling.

I invite you to read more about me and my work, and then sign up for my email newsletter.
