E.G.

Young

E.G. Young (she/her) is a speculative fiction author living on the Gulf Coast of Florida. In her books, you’ll find weird-but-tender vibes, strange girls, dark humor, spookiness, and animals who all live at the end (promise!). She writes 90 percent of her drafts using voice-to-text dictation (shoutout to fellow hypermobile humans).


E.G. has worked as a writing tutor for students in elementary school through college and as a freelance fiction editor. As someone with OCD, she believes in talking openly about mental health and has created social-emotional learning resources for students in middle school through college. You can find creative and SEL-focused activities on her website: egyoungbooks.com/resources


She holds an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults from The Vermont College of Fine Arts and is represented by Linda Camacho at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME: 

Sessions:

​

I didn’t see snow until I was 24.

I have a dog named Fury Rose and a cat named Luna. Fury likes to sit on my lap while I write, and Luna likes to scream at me to stop writing.

I write my books using dictation (speech to text) software because I have a disability that makes typing painful (hypermobile spectrum disorder).
