Louise Nelson

Louise Nelson writes heartfelt middle-grade fiction filled with humor, hope, and unforgettable characters. Her stories celebrate friendship, family, resilience, and the courage to be yourself, making them perfect for readers who enjoy laughter, adventure, and happy endings.

She grew up in the woods of Minnesota and now lives in rural Alaska with her husband. She holds a degree in classical studies and literature and has a lifelong love of languages and storytelling.

Louise once helped run a small chicken farm in Colorado with more than five hundred hens, an experience that inspired Chickens, Girls, and Other Life Problems. Fortunately, the chickens turned out to be much better story inspiration than they were listeners!
