Jami Attenberg

In October 2019, she published All This Could Be Yours.

Attenberg's next novel, All Grown Up, was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in the US in March 2017, and in the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Holland in 2017–2018.

In 2015, Attenberg published her fifth book, Saint Mazie (Hachette). Buzzfeed listed Saint Mazie as one of the 27 "Most Exciting Books of 2015."

Following a change in publisher and accompanying marketing strategy (with subsequent works promoted not as women's fiction but instead as literary fiction, including blurb from Jonathan Franzen on her third book), Attenberg experienced a literary breakthrough in 2012 with her third novel The Middlesteins, which became a New York Times bestseller and was listed among the ten best-selling books on Amazon in 2012. The Middlesteins was translated into multiple languages and Attenberg was nominated for multiple literature awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the St. Francis College Literary Prize.

In 2006, Attenberg published a collection of short stories with Random/Shaye Areheart under the title Instant Love. Two novels followed: The Kept Man (Riverhead, 2008) and The Melting Season (2010).
