Aeriel Merillat

Fiction
Aeriel (she/her) is a fiction writer and current MFA candidate at the University of Pittsburgh. She writes stories that grapple with the weird and the surreal. She’s currently working on a collection of short stories that deal with gender, love, and magic. She graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a BA in Creative Writing. When she’s not writing stories, you can probably find her listening to a true-crime podcast and drinking tea with her cat, Bagel.
