Ebony Lynn Mudd

Ebony Lynn Mudd is a storyteller who writes stories that center underrepresented kids as main characters, highlighting the rich diversity within the Black community.

Ebony’s stories are an act of love, literary activism, and a safe space for every person who opens her books. She is also a member of Authors Against Book Bans and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, the creator of picture book revision courses through The PB Retreat and the empowering literacy program Dance-N-Read, and the co-founder of PB Rising Stars, a picture book mentorship program.

As a former professional dancer and owner of a tuition-free dance company, Ebony is a bridge for underprivileged kids who hope to work in the arts. Now, as an Author, Ebony reaches those kids through stories.Ebony lives (and dances) in North Carolina but is always seeking the next plane, train, bus, car, scooter, or boat to whisk her away on a new adventure. Her other interests include all-you-can-eat sushi, quoting Phoebe from the T.V. show FRIENDS, and eating anything edible that she didn't have to cook.
