Rebecca Stafford is a novelist.

Before I was a writer, I was a reader. I grew up in rural Georgia and spent most of my afternoons in my town’s library. Books were my refuge and my escape; I would not have survived adolescence without them!

I love writing and helping others find their voice as authors, and I’m so lucky to have the privilege of working with the talented undergrad and graduate students of North Central College in Illinois.

My first young adult novel, Rabbit and Juliet, is out now from Quill Tree Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Children’s Books.
