Writer, editor, landlady, neighborhood nerd.


Vikki is a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer whose work has appeared in BUST, Literary Hub, Hyperallergic, Electric Literature, The Boston Globe, the Ocean State Review, and The Providence Phoenix. She contributed to The BUST DIY Guide to Life.

Vikki's debut memoir Tenemental: Adventures of a Reluctant Landlady (Feminist Press, 2018) is a testy love letter to her house, her tenants, and her Providence, Rhode Island neighborhood. Kirkus Reviews called it "refreshingly original reading," and O, The Oprah Magazine featured it as a Top Book of Summer.

Here's a profile of Vikki and Tenemental in the Providence Journal, and another in Providence Monthly. And here's Vikki's list of her favorite memoirs by women with unconventional jobs for Electric Literature.

Vikki has worked in the audiobook field for 15 years. She now works with books in print and audio as an acquisitions editor for Blackstone Publishing.
