Pearson Marx
Contributor

PEARSON is a writer who divides her time between New York City and Redding, CT. Her first novel, On the Way to the Venus de Milo, was published by Simon & Schuster. She has just finished a second novel (with tentative title The Maid’s Room) which deals with the fantasies and cultural pressures and fears that confine and limit women (and in which women can confine themselves). Her personal essays and interviews have appeared in a variety of publications, including New York magazine, Vogue, and Allure.
 
In 2013, she started a 501c3 dedicated to rescuing dogs from high kill shelters in multiple states. She named her organization Morgan’s Place in honor of her friend Amy Hempel’s rescued pit bull, Morgan. Amy’s work in dog rescue led Pearson to adopt her first pitbull, Cleo, and inspired her own involvement in this cause.
