Megan Marshall’s, Margaret Fuller: A New American Life (2013), a character-driven narrative biography grounded in fact that tests the boundaries of the form, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 2014 and the Massachusetts Book Award in Nonfiction. In 2022, Marshall received the BIO Award, the highest honor given by the Biographers International Organization, recognizing her contributions to the art and craft of biography, and the Thoreau Society’s Walter Harding Distinguished Service Award for contributions to the study of American Transcendentalism.

An elected Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society, she is a past president of the Society of American Historians and a co-editor of Margaret Fuller: Collected Writings, forthcoming from Library of America in late February.

Marshall teaches nonfiction writing and archival research in the MFA creative writing program at Emerson College where she was named the first Charles Wesley Emerson College Professor. She lives in Belmont, Massachusetts, midway between Boston and Concord, locations that figure prominently in her subjects’ lives. She is the proud grandmother of five young readers to whom she has dedicated her most recent book, After Lives: On Biography and the Mysteries of the Human Heart.
