Meaghan Mulholland's writing has appeared or is forthcoming in National Geographic, HuffPost, Salon, Playboy, Day One, and Harvard Review, among other publications. She's been awarded a Creative Writing Fulbright to Italy, a Bread Loaf Writers' Conference Scholarship, and was a finalist for a Sustainable Arts Foundation award. She has an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Arkansas and she lives in North Carolina with her family.
At MacDowell in 2011, Mulholland worked on revising a novel about a family of Sicilian puppeteers, inspired initially by her research for National Geographic Magazine.
During her 2024 residency, she spent time revisiting and organizing years of interviews, research and reporting while also drafting several chapters of her book-in-progress about critically endangered red wolves and the little-known, controversy-plagued experiment in re-wilding that brought them back from extinction.
