Vicki Johnson loves writing stories for young people. She’s had a long and distinguished career in public service, but her favorite job ever was veterinary assistant.

Vicki also loves citizen science, and she’s been known to document the eastern box turtles, northern flying squirrels, and pileated woodpeckers who live right outside her window.

Born and raised in rural Georgia, Vicki was educated as a first-generation student at Smith College and Emory Law School, and is now pursuing her MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Vicki lives in a 200 year-old log cabin in West Virginia with her daughter, two cats, and two dogs. Full bio here.
