K.J. Field believes planets have funny voices and the cosmos is trying to tell us something. Her job is to listen deeply and help you hear them too. K.J. Field is an author, screenwriter, and space enthusiast who's been writing about the solar system, and particularly Pluto, since 2015. She began by researching dwarf planets for a fictional book she was writing and just kept on going. Now that she's a rampant Plutophile, there's no turning back! She has authored several space-themed fiction and non-fiction books, with more on the way. One of her favorite things to do with her writing is mix humor and science. K.J. Field is the voice behind the Planet Pluto on Twitter (Follow her @Plutoliveshere) and hopes to someday soon turn her screenplay about the plights and delights of the personified Pluto into an animated movie for all ages.
