KG Mach’s first words were recorded on the basement wall of her parents’ home— in permanent marker. Now she writes in a notebook and creates stories of historical fiction, fantasy, and reimagined folklore. When not writing she can be found teaching, knitting, or searching for stories in the nooks and crannies of life, and of course sharing a laugh with her family.

Her writing awards include the following: Present, Still Missing – 2019 recipient of NESCBWI’s Ruth Landers Glass Scholarship, and 2018 winner for MG fiction for Connecticut’s Tassy Walden Award. (Soon to be published by Golden Bridges!)

Ekimmu- 2019 Long List for the Times Chicken House competition and 2018 finalist in MG fiction for Connecticut’s Tassy Walden Award 

Beneath the Straw- 2021 finalist for MG fiction for Connecticut’s Tassy Walden Award
