Thomas Beller is an American author and editor. While still studying for his MFA, The New Yorker published Beller’s short story “A Different Kind of Perfection”, which was chosen for the Best American Short Stories volume of 1992. Since, his work has appeared in such publications as “The New York Times”, “ELLE”, “Spin”, “Vogue” and “The Village Voice”. He spent a year as a staff writer at “The New Yorker”, and later worked for “The Cambodia Daily” newspaper, where he remains a contributing editor.

Thomas Beller is also the creator of the literary website Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood, a collection of essays, reportage, and vignettes by various authors, including Beller himself. All of the pieces are set in or about Beller’s native New York City; the collection has been growing since 2000. The location of each story is marked on a map. In 2002, the site was nominated for a Webby Award in the Print and Zine category and published a book: “Before and After: Stories from New York”, which pivots around the September 11 attacks.
