CAITLIN SHETTERLY is the author of two sequential novels, The Gulf of Lions (Harper Books, 2026) and Pete and Alice in Maine(Harper Books, 2023). Pete and Alice was widely acclaimed, with interviews on NPR’s Weekend Edition, reviews in the LA Times, the Star Tribune, Chicago Review of Books, Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal and more. Allegra Goodman’s review for The New York Times said it best: “Shetterly’s debut achieves a subtle grace, a quality of light and shadow worthy of a Bergman film.”

Modified won the Maine Literary Award in 2017 and was named one of the “Best Books of 2016” by both Publisher’s Weekly and Goop. Made for You and Me was based on a series of audio diaries that were featured on Weekend Edition on NPR and went viral. Fault Lines was an Indie Next pick and became a bestseller after being featured by Scott Simon on Weekend Edition. Shetterly’s work has been featured in the The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Orion, Elle, Self, The Boston Globe, LitHub, Romper, and on Oprah.com, as well as on This American Life, Hidden Brain, Studio 360, NPR’s Weekend Edition, and various other public radio shows.
