About Helen Klein Ross

I'm the author of three novels: WHAT WAS MINE (2016) and MAKING IT: A NOVEL OF MADISON AVENUE (2013), Simon & Schuster. My new novel THE LATECOMERS was published by Little, Brown in November 2018. I am also the creator and editor of THE TRAVELER'S VADE MECUM, an anthology of new poems titled by old telegrams discovered on Twitter, published by Red Hen Press in 2016. My poetry, essays and fiction have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times and literary journals. I spent decades as a writer/creative director at global ad agencies on both coasts. I graduated from Cornell University and received an MFA from The New School. I live with my husband in New York City and Lakeville, CT.
