Margarita Montimore



After receiving a BFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College, Margarita Montimore worked for over a decade in publishing and social media before deciding to focus on the writing dream full-time. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and dog.

Margarita writes upmarket/literary fiction that tends to be left of center and flirt with multiple genres. She loves all things dark, strange, and surreal, but is also optimistic—verging on quixotic—and a pop culture geek, so her work tends to incorporate all those elements to varying degrees.

A Gorgeous Excitement (2025)
Cynthia Weiner
"I haven't felt this kind of excitement reading a story set in the '80s since I first discovered Jay McInerney, Tama Janowitz, and Bret Easton Ellis."
thumb
The Hitchcock Hotel (2024)
Stephanie Wrobel
"Fans of Alfred Hitchcock will adore this homage to the master of suspense, as will anyone looking for a captivating thriller. Wrobel weaves a story filled with unexpected twists, including one that's positively mind-blowing. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough."

Welcome Home, Caroline Kline (2024)
Courtney Preiss
"An uplifting and sassy debut - with just enough Jersey attitude and plenty of heart - about family, love, finding yourself, and finding home base."
