Salumeh received her MA in literature and has been a professor of English since 2005.  Always inspired to write based on the world around her, a girl on the bus became the subject of one of Salumeh's short stories, and that short story turned into the first chapter of her novel, Children of a Revolution. 

​

Salumeh has been awarded fellowships with the San Francisco Writers Grotto and Women’s National Book Association. Publication of her short story about the girl on the bus, A Pair of Candelabras, is forthcoming in the 3rd edition of the Women’s National Book Association Anthology. 

 

Salumeh breathes the salty air of the San Francisco seaside where she lives with her husband and two kids.
