About

Roseanne Pereira’s writing explores the intersections of race, spirituality, 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 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.
