Marianne Knowles
As a child, Marianne Knowles spent her summer days reading, writing, and doing STEM activities at her lab bench—which her mother called “the family’s picnic table.” As an adult, she now spends her workdays reading, writing comics, and creating STEM activities at a major science center. STEM education is serious work, and it’s also serious fun. So on her own time, she writes her own projects—including a STEM-focused middle grade graphic novel.
Marianne leads an SCBWI critique group and is the founder and former administrator of the Writers’ Rumpus blog. She lives near Boston with her husband and cat in a house filled with their STEM projects.
Her mother never quite forgave her for the Insect Zoo Incident.
