When you’re burning the midnight oil and your stomach starts to grumble, what should you reach for to fuel you through the night? We decided to go directly to the source. We mean writers, of course. After all, who knows better the pain and pleasure of the midnight munchies than the literary set?

This month, we asked 20 authors, past and present, to share what they snack on in the wee hours.

Elinor Lipman’s first story was published in Yankee magazine in 1981 and the much-beloved author has since gone on to produce 11 works of fiction, including The Family Man, The Inn at Lake Devine, Isabel’s Bed, and The View from Penthouse B. Mega-fan Helen Hunt spent 10 years bringing Then She Found Me to the screen, her directorial debut in which she also starred.

Nor is Lipman a stranger to nonfiction: Tweet Land of Liberty: Irreverent Rhymes from the Political Circus, was published in 2012, followed by I Can’t Complain: (All Too) Personal Essays.
