K. A. Reynolds is an anxious, neurodivergent author writing mental health/neurodiverse positive books. Born and bred in Winnipeg, Canada, Kristin has a thing for dead poets, ushering creepy crawly things with numerous legs out of houses, and writing dark and magical tales for all. Despite her innocent appearance, she has been described on more than one occasion as the following: strange, grim, fierce, dreamer, poet, lover of the fantastic, indulger of the macabre, and more often than not, witch. Her debut MG Fantasy, The Land of Yesterday published with HarperCollins 7-31-18. A second MG Fantasy, The Spinner of Dreams, followed on 8-27-19. Her newest upper middle grade title, IZZY AT THE END OF THE WORLD, released with Clarion Books/HarperCollins 2-21-2023. Her debut Picture book, THE BIG WORRY DAY, released 8-23-22. And her debut chapter book, AVA SKYE, ADVENTURER, releases with Collins Big Cat, 9-4-23, which is all very exiting!
K.A has been published in several poetry journals and could wallpaper the universe in all the unread poems and stories hidden on her computer. When not buried under a mountain of books, she can be found enjoying the wilds of nature, where she currently resides with her equally strange flock of teenagers. She is represented by a superhero otherwise known as Thao Le of SDLA.
