Rebecca Young

Rebecca Young is the creative force behind Bug & Bear Press and the author of the whimsical, heart-filled Bug & Bear series. Inspired by the curiosity and imagination of her own children, she writes stories that empower readers of all ages to embrace creativity, celebrate their own stories, and shape the world around them.

Believing that storytelling should be collaborative, immersive, and inclusive, Rebecca pioneered Participatory Publishing—the cornerstone of Bug & Bear Press. Through this innovative framework, she invites audiences to co-create stories, bringing readers into the heart of the storytelling process.

When she’s not writing, Rebecca is likely skiing, traveling, or traveling to places where she can ski—always chasing adventure and the next great story.
