BIO
Ebony Lynn Mudd writes picture books and novels for underrepresented kids who don’t see themselves portrayed positively in the media. Her upcoming picture book, Junior Takes a Leap, will be illustrated by Pure Belpré and Coretta Scott King Honor artist C.G Esperanza and published by Scholastic.
Ebony spends her time fighting fiercely against inequalities, toxic masculinity, and gender stereotypes. As a former professional dancer and current owner of a tuition-free dance company, she is a bridge for underprivileged kids that hope to work in the arts. She’s energized by the creative freedom that choreographing moves to music gives her and often compares it to crafting stories on a blank page.
Her other interests include all-you-can-eat sushi, quoting Phoebe from the T.V. show FRIENDS, and eating anything edible that she didn’t have to cook. She is a co-founder of the PB Rising Stars Mentorship program and the creator of picture book writing courses through The Voice Roadmap.
Ebony is represented by Erin Murphy at Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
