Hey, I’m Mackenzie.

At the heart of everything I do is a story.

My love of storytelling grew during my time at Nazareth College, where I received my BA in Communications and Media and a double minor in Business Management and the Entertainment Industry. During this time, I also rediscovered my love of reading and began writing my own novels. I’m invigorated by the process of starting with an idea and breathing life into it until it matches the vision in my mind. Right now, I’ve found a cozy nook in the space of Young Adult, where I adore writing about fierce teens and the chaotic messes they get themselves into. When I’m not writing, I’m usually winging my eyeliner, hanging out with my family (they’re cool, ok?), or on the hunt for the best slice of pizza in town.

I’m currently represented by Amy Bishop-Wycisk at Trellis Literary.

 

When I’m not writing, you can find me…
