Margaret Ronald wrote her first fantasy novel in 8th grade. That this novel no longer exists is evidence toward the existence of a merciful God.

She attended the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities, graduated without knowing her left from her right, and went on to receive a B.A. in English from Williams College, where she and her clone pioneered the plastic section of the marching band.

In 2004, she attended the Viable Paradise writers’ workshop on Martha’s Vineyard. She is a member of BRAWL, a Boston science fiction and fantasy writers’ group. She currently lives outside Boston.
