Edward Underhill grew up in the suburbs of Wisconsin, where he could not walk to anything, which meant he had to make up his own adventures. He began writing (very bad) stories as a kid and wrote his first (also very bad) novel in his teens. He currently lives in California, where by day he writes music (most frequently for cartoons) and by night he writes stories, which aren’t as bad as they used to be. As a queer trans man, he is passionate about books where queer and trans kids can find themselves in the pages. If you are one of those kids, he promises there will always be a place for you in his books. Edward’s debut novel, ALWAYS THE ALMOST, releases from Wednesday Books/Macmillan on February 14, 2023.
