Miranda Cowley Heller is best known for The Paper Palace, her debut novel published in 2021. The book became a bestseller and was selected for Reese Witherspoon’s book club. Set over the course of 24 hours at a family compound on Cape Cod, the novel follows a woman forced to make an impossible choice.
Heller worked as a senior vice president at HBO before turning to fiction. Her second publication, What the Deep Water Knows, is a poetry collection due in 2025. She brings a screenwriter’s sense of pacing to her prose, and The Paper Palace was optioned for a film adaptation.
