Krisserin Canary
Krisserin Canary writes about those living in the margins of American society—characters shaped by poverty, geographic isolation, and cultural assimilation. Her work explores generational trauma through women navigating the intersections of class, technology, and identity.
A 2013 PEN Center USA Emerging Voices Fiction fellow and 2016 Allegra Johnson Prize nominee, she studied with Ramona Ausubel, Mark Sarvas, and Aimee Bender. Her debut novel, Parasocial, is represented by Kima Jones at Triangle House Literary. Drawing from my decade in digital marketing and social media, the book explores a dystopian future where memories become currency and human connection is commodified through technology.
She lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband, two daughters, and Bulgarian in-laws.
