EDWARD UNDERHILL writes music for animated TV shows by day and words for teenagers by night. He grew up in Wisconsin and earned his bachelors in music composition from the Oberlin Conservatory (while also writing queer ghost stories for a campus magazine). A queer trans man, Edward is a recipient of the SCBWI-LA Mentorship Award and currently resides in California with his partner and a talkative black cat. His debut young adult romcom Always the Almost will release from Wednesday Books/Macmillan in spring 2023, with a second novel to follow.
