about kim
KIM SAVAGE is the author of the critically acclaimed In Her Skin (ALA Best YA Fiction 2019; Eliot Rosewater Finalist), Beautiful Broken Girls (Kirkus' 10 Best YA 2017), and After the Woods (Kirkus and School Library Journal starred; Booklist’s Top 10 YA Crime Fiction), all with Farrar, Straus, Giroux. Her novels have been published in Spain, Brazil, and Turkey and have been optioned by Amazon Studios and Awesomeness TV/Paramount. Kim is a former beat reporter with a Master's degree in Journalism whose stories are often seeded in the news, skew psychologically dark, and straddle the line between commercial and literary. A first-generation scholarship student raised on a dirt road and government-issued cheese who landed in a Boston suburb, Kim’s outsider’s eye—and her pen—are drawn to classism, privilege, and the excesses of modern parenting.
