Olivia Atwater writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. When she told her second-grade history teacher that she wanted to work with history someday,
she is fairly certain this isn't what either party had in mind. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.

Olivia Atwater recommends
The Keeper of Magical Things (2025)
Julie Leong
"The Keeper of Magical Things is the perfect cosy fantasy, with a healthy dose of sweet sapphic romance and gentle humour to round things out. (Also, an adorable dragoncat. That part is very important.) I deeply enjoyed every inch of this novel. In fact, I think I'm going to take my next vacation in Shpelling."
The Everlasting (2025)
Alix E Harrow
"As dark and oppressive as it is utterly sublime, The Everlasting is a lush fantasy that also holds up a mythological mirror to our present-day neuroses, honing its edge on our need for identity and belonging. It's also got a buff lady knight and a cowardly scholar who worships the ground she walks on. Anyway, I loved every word of it."
A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping (2025)
Sangu Mandanna
"Warm, cozy, and eminently hopeful, A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping is the comfort read of the year, and an instant favorite."
