Teagan Olivia Sturmer (she/her) is a neurodivergent, chronically ill librarian and children’s and adult author living on the stormy shores of Lake Superior, passionate about writing stories of girls who are stronger than they know. Teagan graduated from Northern Michigan University with a degree in Creative Writing and used that to pursue her love of Shakespeare, acting and directing in her local theatre, and studying the art of dramaturgy. Short stories of Teagan’s can be found in anthologies from Phantom House Press, Quill and Crow Publishing, Shortwave Publishing, Black Spot Books, and Eerie River Publishing. Having been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and PTSD for most of her life, Teagan is passionate about telling stories of resilience. Stories of characters who discover the power of their own emotions, and use that power to overcome. Teagan lives in Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula with her husband, Brice, their pups, Rosie and Remus, one rather persnickety calico cat, Phoebe, and their basement ghost, Bertram. Teagan is represented by Amy Giuffrida
