about this author

I'm Betsy. I write things. My first novel, Tides, is forthcoming from Clarion/HMH in spring 2013. It's a young adult fantasy about selkies, set on the Isles of Shoals off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire. My second novel, Mechanica, is a middle grade steampunk retelling of Cinderella coming in 2014, also from Clarion. I'm an MFA student at the University of Notre Dame, where I also teach fiction writing and film and television studies. My agent is the wonderful Sara Crowe at Harvey Klinger, Inc. You can read my stories "Autopsy" and "Shapes," as well as my Teen Ink column archives, online. Thanks for visiting!
