Miranda Hoffman is a middle grade and young adult author. She grew up in Los Angeles but always thought she should have been born in rural Vermont in the 1890s. As a child, she filled her days with books, drawing, and make-believe time-travel adventures. She went on to study visual art at the LA County High School for the Arts, earned a BA in literature from UC Santa Cruz, and completed an MFA in theater design at the Yale School of Drama. Her early career flourished in New York City, where she designed costumes for productions on and off Broadway and at regional theaters nationwide.
Today, she brings that creative energy to the classroom, teaching middle school Language Arts and Drama. She strives to inspire middle school students to take risks, read deeply, and discover their own voices. She enjoys reading and writing about misfits and outcasts who are driven to transform their worlds and challenge those in power. She is currently working on a young adult dystopian novel. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Miranda enjoys time with her family, yoga, photography, forest walks, and a good podcast. She is a proud member of SCBWI.
