Mackenzi Lee holds a BA in history and an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Simmons College. She is the New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, which was awarded a Stonewall Honor and the New England Book Award; its sequel, The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy; and Bygone Badass Broads, a collection of short biographies of amazing women from history you probably don't know about but definitely should, based on her popular twitter series of the same name. Forthcoming projects include a series for Marvel Press, and a historical novel set during the Dutch tulip mania. She loves Diet Coke, sweater weather, and Harry Potter. On a perfect day, she can be found enjoying all three.
