Short Bio:

M. K. England grew up on the Space Coast of Florida watching shuttle launches from the backyard. These days, they call rural Virginia home, where there are many excellent sheep but a tragic lack of rockets. Between marathon writing sessions, MK can be found rolling critical hits at the gaming table, digging in the garden, or feeding their video game addiction. They probably love Star Wars more than you do.

MK is the author of seven novels for kids, teens, and adults, including the most recent The One True Me and You, Player vs. Player, and Firefly: What Makes Us Mighty. Follow them at www.mkengland.com.

M. K. England hates writing about themself in the third person, so we’re gonna drop that now.

I’ve had a lot of jobs. I worked in public libraries the longest, from 2011 to 2021. I spent most of that time as a Teen Librarian, running free events for teens, specializing in YA books, and generally having a grand time. I’ve also been an experimental music composer, a teaching assistant, a bookstore clerk, a movie concessions worker, a customer service punching bag, a teaching assistant, and many, many other illustrious positions. Teen librarian was definitely the best. 

I’m nonbinary (they/them or she/her) and queer, and I live in the country on a small piece of land with three dogs, a partner, a toddler, a gigantic vegetable garden, and a whole hoard of TTRPG dice. I’ve been reading fanfiction and generally drowning in fandom since I was twelve, when my family got our first computer. I love outer space and science. I’ve been a gamer (both video games and tabletop) for as long as I can remember. I was a three-time Pitch Wars mentor and a class of 2015 mentee, a TeenPit mentor, and I’ve served as a NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison in two regions.

Things you’ll often find in my books: sly nerdy references, mental health, pure joyful triumph, queer kids who save the world, and happy endings. 

Look, I probably do love Star Wars more than you do. Facts are facts, sorry. 

I wrote some books, including 3 stand-alone YA novels, two tie-in novels for the Marvel and Firefly universes, and a middle grade trilogy. I also write interactive fiction for StoryLoom, which I hope you’ll check out. I’m represented by Eric Smith at P.S. Literary. You can find me on twitter and instagram intermittently.

If you’ve read this far, hey, thanks. Be extra kind to someone today. Maybe yourself. I hope you have a great day.
