Monidipa "Mimi" Mondal is an Indian speculative fiction writer based in New York.

Mondal is the co-editor of Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia E. Butler, an anthology of letters and essays, which received a Locus Award in 2018.

[12] In 2015, Mondal attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop in Seattle, US, where she was the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholar.

[21][22] Mondal and the other writers on Journeys through the Radiant Citadel were nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Game Writing in March 2023.
