Caeli's work has appeared in such publications as the New York Times Magazine, Another Chicago Magazine, and the Madison Review, as well as on NPR and CBS Radio. She currently teaches for Writing Workshops Los Angeles and has taught in the past for Brooklyn's Sackett Street Workshop and at University College London. REAL HAPPY FAMILY is her first novel, and she's hard at work on another. When she's not writing, she's hanging out with her husband and three children, working at her unliterary day job, or jogging around Santa Monica, where she lives, while thinking about writing and/or interesting soup recipes. She is a graduate of Wellesley College and the University of Montana's MFA program.
