About Me

Anoop Judge is the author of five books, LAW: WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT and HOW TO GET IN, THE RUMMY CLUB which won the 2015 Beverly Hills Book Award, THE AWAKENING OF MEENA RAWAT, an excerpt of which was nominated for the 2019 Pushcart Prize, NO ORDINARY THURSDAY, (which was a FIRST READS book selection), and MERCY AND GRACE.
 
Her essays and short stories have appeared in Green Hills Literary Lantern, Rigorous Journal, Lumiere Review, DoubleBack Review, and the Ornament Anthology, among others.
 
Anoop calls herself a “recovering litigator” —she worked in state and federal courts for many years before she replaced legal briefs with fictional tales. She holds an MFA from St. Mary’s College of California and received the 2021 Advisory Board Award and the 2023 Alumni Scholarship.
 
 Anoop is an adjunct professor at San Francisco Bay University, teaching courses in communication studies.
 
Anoop lives in Pleasanton, California with her husband— her fully grown kids have migrated to the East Coast and she is embracing this new chapter with open arms, a full heart, and an empty fridge!
