KT Mather’s debut novel, Rage Is a Wolf has been called ‘a reimagining of the very premises of a strong female lead’ by the LA Review of Books. And her prose style described by Kirkus as ‘profane, hilarious, vibrant, and surprising.’

KT grew up in Alaska with a respect for two things—nature and the power of a good story to change everything (or at least something). She was a high school English teacher and soccer coach for years and misses being around teenagers’ humor and authenticity.

She lives in Vermont with her family, where she writes, hosts the podcast “Out of Curiosity with kt mather,” referees soccer, and is busy converting her lawn into an edible forest and pollinator garden.

KT earned her BA in English from Western Washington University, an MA in Humanities from the University of Chicago, and an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
