Short Bio:

M. K. England grew up on the Space Coast of Florida watching shuttle launches from the backyard. These days, they live on a micro-farm in rural Virginia packed with video and board games, plants, D&D books, Star Wars memorabilia, and their preschooler’s giant personality. They’re probably covered in dirt right now. MK is the author of ten novels for kids, teens, and adults and a forthcoming interactive novel with Choice of Games. You can find them at mkengland.com.

I’ve had a lot of very different jobs in my life. 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 agender (any pronouns, but they/them is best) and queer, and I live in the country on a small piece of land with two dogs, a partner, a preschooler, a micro-farm, 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 currently serve on the board of the nonprofit organization Rainbows and Reflections as their Director of Literacy Relations.

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

I wrote some books, including 4 stand-alone YA novels, two tie-in novels for the Marvel and Firefly universes, a middle grade trilogy (and more MG coming soon!), some short stories in 4 anthologies, and some upcoming books for adults in romance and fantasy. I write interactive fiction for Choice of Games, and I also wrote for an app called StoryLoom for a while (RIP). I’m represented by Eric Smith at P.S. Literary for writing and Sean Berard at Grandview for film/tv. You can find me on twitter and instagram intermittently, and tumblr more regularly but less seriously.

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