Sam Speaks | Fiction Editor | They

Sam has been an author since 2nd grade, when the books they wrote for fun were passed around by their classmates. They adore fiction and the technical craft of writing, and—ever the kid at heart—their love lies in MG and YA. Sam received their BFA in Communication Design from the University of Louisville. In their history as an event liaison, they had the privilege of hosting authors such as Jan Brett, Isaac Marion, Greg Iles, and John Scalzi. They have written three novels and edited countless works for others. They love public libraries, dinosaurs, and NaNoWriMo (add them @speakswrite)!
