Mary McMyne

Mary McMyne's debut novel, THE BOOK OF GOTHEL (Orbit/Redhook, 2022), is the secret history of Rapunzel and other tales according to the witch. Her fairytale poetry chapbook, WOLF SKIN (Dancing Girl Press, 2014), won the Elgin Chapbook Award. She has received the Faulkner-Wisdom Prize for a Novel-in-Progress, a grant from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, and other honors. She lives with her family in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains just north of Atlanta. Her bookshelves are filled with histories, retellings, fairy tales, speculative literature of all sorts—sci-fi, fantasy, horror, you name it—and board games. She is hopelessly obsessed with illuminated manuscripts and grimoires.
