Hi! I’m Kit Frick, author of thrilling mysteries for teens. I’m also a poet. And an editor. In other words, my world is filled with infinite creative challenges, moments of beauty, and moments when I scare myself silly—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Exciting book news: my fourth novel will be out in April 2022 from S&S/McElderry Books! Very Bad People is a dark academia YA thriller set in the dangerous, secret-filled world of Tipton Academy. Check back for more updates as we approach publication!
In the meantime, I Killed Zoe Spanos is out now in paperback!
