Margaret Nevinski

Margaret Nevinski writes middle-grade fiction because she remembers the thrill of riding her bike with no hands. She teaches workshops for young writers, where she gets to help spark ideas and hear awesome stories. Margaret earned her MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She’s published short stories as well as books for the school market, and her middle-grade manuscript, Zach Hammerkop and the Summer of Doom, was a finalist for the Katherine Paterson Prize. After growing up in the Midwest, Margaret headed west until she hit water and boarded a ferry. She lives on an island near Seattle with her husband and their tuxedo cat, Scout. Margaret is repped by Jacqui Lipton.
