Daphne Palasi Andreades was born and raised in Queens, New York. She received her MFA from Columbia University, where she was awarded a Henfield Prize and a Creative Writing Teaching Fellowship. Her debut novel, BROWN GIRLS, was named a New York Times Editors’ Choice, an Indie Next Pick by booksellers across the U.S., and was a finalist for several awards: the Carol Shields Prize for Fiction, the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, the New American Voices Award, and the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award. BROWN GIRLS is now available in the UK and Commonwealth, and France, and is forthcoming in Germany.
