Kelly Barnhill

Kelly Barnhill is an American author known for her young adult fantasy novels and non-fiction works. Before becoming a novelist, she held various jobs, including teacher, bartender, waitress, park ranger, secretary, and janitor. She believes that none of these roles prepared her for anything other than storytelling, which she pursues with joy. In 2017, she won the Newbery Medal and has also received fellowships from the Jerome Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board, and the McKnight Foundation. Additionally, she has been honored with the World Fantasy Award, Parents Choice Gold Award, Texas Library Association Bluebonnet, and a Charlotte Huck Honor. Kelly is married to Ted Barnhill and has three children. She published her first book, a non-fiction title called Animals with No Eyes, in 2008, and made her debut as a novelist in 2011 with The Mostly True Story of Jack.
