About

Roseanne Pereira’s writing explores spirituality, history, and food. Her fiction investigates ancestral connections and cultural hauntings. 

The daughter of immigrants from Goa, Roseanne grew up in sunny South Florida. A warm presence continues to imbue her work. 

Roseanne has received support from the Minnesota State Arts Board, Tin House, Writing by Writers, and Hedgebrook. A graduate of Yale, the University of San Francisco, and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, she served as a Kroc fellow at NPR, an Upper Midwest Human Rights fellow at the Center for Victims of Torture, and is the recipient of the 2023 Levis Prize post-graduate stipend for fiction from Friends of Writers.
