About Me

Aubrey Hirsch

Hello! I am a writer and illustrator living in New York. My stories, essays, and comics have appeared in The New York Times, Vox, TIME Magazine, American Short Fiction, Black Warrior Review, The Rumpus, The Nib and elsewhere. I’m the author of a short story collection, Why We Never Talk About Sugar, and a flash fiction chapbook, This Will Be His Legacy.

I also teach writing classes online and in person. I’ve taught in BA and MFA programs at Oberlin College, The University of Pittsburgh, Colorado College, Georgia College and State University, and Chatham University.

I am the recipient of a 2022 National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in Literature, an individual artist award from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, the Daehler Fellowship in Creative Writing from The Colorado College, and The Meek Award for Graphic Nonfiction from The Florida Review.
