Katherine Sparrow writes middle grade, young adult, and adult fiction for humans of all ages. Little Apocalypse is her first middle grade novel. She was nominated for a Nebula Award, attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop, and organizes workshops for writers at all parts of their journey. She was raised in Seattle and has lived up and down the West Coast, usually in rainy and foggy milieus that are excellent at convincing her to stay home and write.
