Jeff Seymour (they/them) got their start in their early twenties through Kickstarter and indie publishing. Their major-publisher debut, Nadya Skylung and the Cloudship Rescue (written when they were 26), was a critically acclaimed finalist for the Colorado Book Award in Juvenile Literature. Both it and its follow-up, Nadya Skylung and the Masked Kidnapper, were selected for the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Award.
Genre-leaping and prolific, Jeff enjoys exploring and expanding on classic story structures while painting deep, moving character portraits in mind-blowing worlds. Jeff has developed and outlined several YA sci-fi and fantasy series for book packagers, has edited more than 100 novels, and has written short stories, graphic novel treatments, full-length novels for kids and adults, and more.
