Madeleine Johnson Dean

Hi y'all, I'm Madeleine!

Growing up the only child of a graphic designer and a folk singer, I developed two very specific traits at a young age: a deep belief that art matters and a wildly expansive imagination. As a kid I wrote stories to pass the time, to try to make sense of the world, and to take myself on adventures. Years later, I'm still doing the same thing.

When I'm not writing, you can find me making movies, teaching high schoolers how to write better essays, or plotting my next roadtrip.
