Biography

Hankin graduated from Princeton University in 2010.[1]

Hankin performs[2] [3] [4] and writes sketch comedy for the group Feminarchy.[5] [6] She has contributed articles to HuffPost, McSweeney's, and Medium.[7]

Hankin's debut novel, Happy and You Know It (Berkley, 2020), was positively received by Kirkus Reviews: "Hankin manages to make overused subject matter feel fresh and vibrant. What starts out as a satire of privileged parenting quickly becomes something else entirely—a domestic thriller with twists and turns that are entirely unexpected and incredibly fun".[8]

Hankin's second novel, A Special Place for Women (Berkley, 2021), was reviewed by Publishers Weekly as being "diverting if far-fetched". Publishers also said, "the narrative has a couple of nice twists, but the ending’s a bit of a stretch".[9] Paramount Television Studios acquired the rights to the novel in 2021.[10]

The Daydreams (Berkley, 2023) is Hankin's third novel.[11]

Hankin has performed in the films While We're Young (2014) and Emergency Contacts (2016).

Hankin lives in New York City.
