Antwan Eady

Originally from Garnett, South Carolina, Antwan Eady is author of the award-winning picture book Nigel and the Moon, illustrated by Gracey Zhang. Down the dirt roads of South Carolina’s Low Country is where Eady’s understanding of—and appreciation for—family, community, and nature unfolded. Now he shares those stories with the world. His current titles include: The Last Stand and Poemhood: Our Black Revival (a Young Adult poetry anthology), with upcoming titles such as The Gathering Table, Micah’s Rise, and Before the Bridge. When he isn’t writing, he’s visiting schools, libraries, and colleges throughout the country. A graduate of Clemson University, Antwan now lives in Savannah, Georgia.
