Katharine McGee started with The Thousandth Floor, a futuristic YA series that debuted in 2016 and ran for three main novels through 2018 (plus some international editions). She then turned to an entirely different premise with American Royals in 2019, an alternate-history series imagining an American monarchy. That series grew to five books and a prequel novella, running through 2023 and becoming her most recognizable work. The Royal anthology and a bonus chapter round out the American Royals world.
Her more recent output includes the Queens Game series, which started with A Queen’s Game in 2024 and continued with A Queen’s Match in 2025. She also has an anthology contribution, 13 Little Love Stories, slated for 2026. With sixteen books across a decade, McGee has moved between science fiction and alternate history while staying firmly in the YA space, and she tends to build series of three to five books before starting something new.
