Nomi Eve

Nomi Eve is the author of Henna House (Scribner) and The Family Orchard (Knopf) and has two forthcoming novels : Girl of the Cave (Running Wild Press) and The Flood Lines (Regal House). Along the way, she’s been a Book of the Month Cub pick, a National Jewish Book Council featured author and a proud frequent flyer to hundreds of book clubs—because talking with readers is her absolute favorite part of being an author.

When she’s not writing, Nomi is cheering on emerging storytellers. She dreamed up and built the Drexel MFA Program in Creative Writing, a vibrant low residency program known for its industry focus and craft-driven mentorship. She directs the MFA Program and is an assistant professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

A member of the Historical Novel Society and the Tall Poppy Writers, Nomi tells the stories that tug at her—ones rooted in history and grounded in fierce and abiding love. Her writing has appeared in Glimmer Train Stories, The New York Times, Guernica, Conjunctions, and other places.

A born-and-bred Philly girl, Nomi earned her MFA from Brown University and still lives just a mile from her childhood home—proof that sometimes you can go home again. She loves her readers, her students, her family, and her dog… though the order depends on the day!
