Caitlin Garvey is a writer and English professor in Chicago. She has an MFA in creative writing from Northwestern University, and her work has appeared in journals such as Post Road, The Baltimore Review, The Tishman Review, and Little Fiction|Big Truths. 

She is the author of The Mourning Report (Homebound Publications, 2020), a hybrid memoir that weaves personal loss with narrative portraits of those who cared for her mother in her final days.


She is currently working on a novel about a woman in AI-led therapy who begins replacing emotion with function—and cannot stop optimizing.

In addition to teaching and writing, Caitlin offers editing and essay coaching for personal statements, memoir, creative nonfiction, and other voice-driven prose.
