Kelly Link is the author of the collections Magic for Beginners (selected for best of the year lists by Time Magazine, Salon, Book Sense, and others) and Pretty Monsters, a collection of her stories for young adults.
She runs Small Beer Press with her partner, Gavin J. Grant. Together they produce the twice-yearly zine Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet. Their most recent collaboration is Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories. She once won a free trip around the world by answering the question “Why do you want to go around the world?” (“Because you can’t go through it.”)
Link lives with her family in Northampton, Massachusetts.
