My name is Peter & I write
Peter Mountford’s first novel, A Young Man’s Guide to Late Capitalism, will be published in 2011 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The book is set in Bolivia and inspired in part by a job Peter held briefly writing for an Arlington-based think tank while living in South America. In the last few years, Peter’s short fiction has appeared in Best New American Voices 2008, Michigan Quarterly Review, Conjunctions, and Boston Review, where he won second place in the 2007 contest judged by George Saunders.
Originally from DC Peter has moved around a lot — he’s lived in New York, Los Angeles, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Mexico, and Scotland. In 2006, he earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. He continues to live in Seattle, where he’s a writer-in-residence at Seattle Arts and Lectures.
