Jill Baguchinsky grew up fluent in darkness and Disney. She spent much of her life on a barrier island off the coast of Southwest Florida, where she read too much Stephen King and dodged more hurricanes than she could count. Jill's queer YA horror novel, SO WITCHES WE BECAME, will launch in summer 2024 from Little, Brown and Company. Inspired by Jill's experience with Hurricane Irma, SWWB is a story about storm surge, female rage, and toxic bro culture. If boys will be boys, girls will fight back. Jill’s first novel, SPOOKYGIRL, won the 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and was published by Dutton in 2012. Her next book, MAMMOTH (Turner 2018), tackled bullying, body image, and the struggle of young women to stand out in scientific fields. Jill still lives in Florida, but after one hurricane too many, she and her mini menagerie of rescue animals moved inland. Aside from the manatees she used to watch in her backyard canal, she doesn’t miss much about island life.
