E. C. Newman is a storyteller at heart. Born and raised wherever the military sent her family, she never found a direction for her writing until she found herself in Ancient History her freshman year of college, desperate to stay awake. Bringing stories alive in FanFiction, poetry, and original work gave E. C. the distraction she needed and the confidence to add a Writing Major to her bachelor's degree. After a stint in acting school in Los Angeles, she gained a MA in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University in Bath, England.
E.C. currently lives in Georgia with her dog of indeterminate breed, where she teaches high school English and assistant directs in the theatre. She can't help but find it hilarious that she’s now teaching how to write an essay when she so hated them as a student herself. In her spare time, E. C. reads too much, watches too much, and laughs just enough. She actively avoids growing up by writing stories about high school and the trials and triumphs that accompany it.
