Alysa Wishingrad

Alysa Wishingrad writes fantastical stories for young readers, tales that ask;

is the truth really true? Her favorite stories are those that meld the

historical with the fantastic, and that find ways to shine a light on both the

things that divide and unite us all.

She is the author of Between Monsters and Marvels, a 2024 Golden Kite Finalist, and The Verdigris Pawn, which

was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection.

Alysa lives in the Hudson Valley with her family and two demanding rescue dogs,

who are either monsters or marvels, depending on the day.
