ABOUT AJ IRVING

• AJ grew
  up in Boise, Idaho, catching grasshoppers and writing stories. Her biggest
  dream in the whole world was to be a writer.

  Now she
  lives in Seattle with her husband, two children, two dogs, and a cat named Ish.
  Her favorite job (besides children’s author) was being a bookmobile librarian.
  AJ’s writing flame burns brightest when she works on picture books. She reads
  kid lit every day and dances every chance she gets.

  She
  received a B.A. in journalism and women’s and gender studies from the
  University of Oregon.

  When AJ’s
  not writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, and exploring the Emerald
  City with her family.

  She is represented by Jordan Hamessley of New Leaf Literary.
