Lindsey Leavitt

Lindsey Taylor was born in August 17, 1980 and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is the second of five children and graduated from Bonanza High School[2] in 1998. She later went on to attend Brigham Young University where she studied to be an elementary school teacher.[3]

Leavitt stopped teaching and became a substitute teacher when her oldest daughter was born.[4] While pregnant, Leavitt wrote what would later become Sean Griswold's Head, stating that her pregnancy accounted for the emotional ride of the novel. Leavitt then wrote the Princess for Hire series while her first daughter was napping.[5]

As of February 2017, Leavitt has published three Young Adult books, five books for middle graders (two with Robin Mellom), and four books for juveniles (with illustrator A. G. Ford). Leavitt has also won numerous awards for her books including the YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults 2012 award to Sean Griswold's Head.[6]

Leavitt is a full-time author and lives with her large blended family in Utah.[7]
