Benjamin Harper was born and raised in Florida where he spent his time obsessing over insects, dinosaurs, space travel, and kaiju attacks. He went to Warren Wilson College and has been working in children’s publishing ever since as both an editor and author. Currently, he lives in Los Angeles, California.
Hello! I write chapter books, middle grade books, and YA books (under the name M.C. Atwood), and teach creative writing and publishing at Rowan University. I LOVE doing all of that. And when I’m not writing or teaching, I’m going to haunted houses, eating (dairy free!) ice cream, and/or diving into magical worlds feet-first. I’m also hanging out with my two cats–and by hanging out, I mean doing whatever they say. What? They talk to me! That’s normal. . . right?
