BIO
Biography

Stephanie Cooke is an award-nominated writer of graphic novels such as ParaNorthern and Oh My Gods! She’s an avid reader, gamer, movie watcher, and pun connoisseur. She’s based out of the City of Raccoons (aka Toronto, Canada) where she can often be found curled up with her snuggly cat…that she happens to be very allergic to.

Coming in early 2024 are two new graphic novels; Pillow Talk—her YA debut—as well as a new series titled Racc Pack, with bestselling author, Whitney Gardner. Find out more about her at stephaniecooke.ca.
