About Me

My name is Kenna Fry, and I’ve been reading my whole life. Currently based in Provo, Utah, I’m a graduate of BYU, and I majored in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing and a minor in Editing. I’ve written lots of stories, some of which have won BYU contests. My favorite kind of story is one set in a world with magical elements, and a little bit of spookiness thrown in.

I’m interested in fiction manuscripts for people aged 8-24, in a speculative, fantasy, or mystery genre. I will consider any manuscript, but I reserve the right to decline work based on any element.

I love the Beatles (please tell me your favorite song!), drawing, knitting, collecting fountain pens, burning candles, playing records, and just about anything that smells like an old book.
