Maya Myers writes books for kids. Her debut picture book, Not Little, was named a 2022
ALSC Notable Children’s Book. She’s also a freelance book editor and publishing
project manager, working on all sorts of books, from phonics readers to memoir and
everything in between. She’s a former kindergarten teacher, K-5 literacy teacher, and
piccolo player. These days, when she’s not wrangling words, she’s probably cooking,
digging in the garden, playing a board game with lots of pieces, or (surprise!) reading.
Maya grew up playing in the woods on the coast of Maine, in a little town that is still
almost thirty miles from a stoplight. She attended Duke University and has called North
Carolina home ever since. She lives in Charlotte with her husband, author/illustrator
Matt Myers. They have three wonderful, mostly grown-up kids, three backyard chickens,
and a twenty-three-pound cat.
Maya is represented by Sarah Stephens.
