Mae McKoy is the author of Storylore and has been writing whimsical, fantastical tales since she was six years old. She is a high school homeschool student who loves reading and writing YA and Middle Grade Fantasy with her cat and a cup of coffee. She hopes her stories inspire courage and hope in readers’ hearts. When she’s not on adventures across the country, she’s busy creating art, music, handcrafts, plays, and novels in LaGrange, Georgia. You can connect with her on Instagram @mae.mckoy.author and at local festivals and events.

As a young adult herself, Mae will bring a fresh perspective to the YA Fiction panel.
