Kimberly Walker

As a child, Kimberly Walker always had her nose stuck in a book. This caused multiple bruises until her mother banned walking and reading. Finding so much love in words herself at a young age, she hoped to be able to show other kids how much fun reading can be.

Working as a newspaper writer and doing various writing and art-for-hire jobs she honed her craft, and now, many, many, many (shhh stop giggling) years later she is living her dream. Working with monsters was a natural fit as she was always a fan of the monster community.

Kimberly finds combining the fun of illustrating fabulous characters and empowering little monsters of all kinds through the Monster Guides to be the best kind of work there is. She can be found in her office on her daybed working and covered with pets. Kimberly lives in Texas with her husband and editor Chester, dogs Mackenna Ellie and Maddy, and the feline King of the Castle, Pleakly
