Megan Mayhew Bergman lives in rural Vermont with her veterinarian husband, Bo, and two daughters.

Megan’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, Best American Short Stories, New Stories from the South, Ploughshares, and elsewhere. Megan is a justice of the peace and occasionally teaches literature at Bennington College.

His work has appeared in The Boston Review, New England Review, Green Mountains Review, Café Review, Christopher Street, and Vermont magazine, among others. He has received a Pushcart Prize and a Heekin Award in Fiction.
