My name is Kailey Mgrdichian. What in the world is that last name, I know. It is from Armenia and pronounced Mig-ruh-ditch-ee-en. As a Kansas City transplant, I graduated in 2022 from the University of Iowa and currently work at West High School in Iowa City. Over the summers, I work at Kirkwood Community College’s camps for kids. I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for over a decade. I write mainly fantasy YA, though I’ve experimented with other genres before. I don’t have any long works published (yet), but I have had a few short pieces published in various lit mags.
