Miriam Seidel
 
 
 
Miriam Seidel is a fiction writer, librettist, and longtime sci-fi fan. Her debut novel, The Speed of Clouds (New Door Books, 2018) offers a deep dive into the world of sci-fi fandom, and the story of one fan’s efforts to find a new way to live life on Earth. Her dramatic work includes the libretto for Violet Fire—an opera about the visionary inventor Nikola Tesla—performed in Belgrade as part of the celebration of Tesla’s 150thbirthday, as well as in New York and Philadelphia. 
 
Miriam also wrote the libretto for Judgment of Midas, an opera based on a myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, premiered with Present Music and Milwaukee Opera Theater; Interference, a sci-fi radio play produced by New American Radio; and The Big Picture, a dramatic monologue about the Y2K bug performed at InterAct Theatre in Philadelphia. 

She has worked as a curator, and has written about art and performance for Art in America, the Philadelphia Inquirer and many other publications. Her short fiction has appeared in publications including Exquisite Corpse and other magazines, and she has won several fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for her writing.
