Livia Blackburne writes young adult and middle-grade fantasy with a focus on strong heroines and richly imagined worlds. Her debut, the Midnight Thief duology, features a thief caught between loyalty and survival in a corrupt city. The Rosemarked series follows a healer marked by a deadly plague who must work alongside her enemy to find a cure.
Blackburne also writes for the Disney Queen’s Council series, reimagining Disney princesses in stories that flesh out their agency and complexity. Her picture book I Dream of Popo draws on her Taiwanese heritage. Before becoming a novelist, Blackburne earned a PhD in neuroscience from MIT, a background that gives her worldbuilding an unusual precision.
