YA Author

Rebecca Hicken is a YA author of character-driven soft sci-fi. She's pursuing her MFA in creative writing while teaching English and history to middle schoolers. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she continues to live there, sheltered among the trees with her husband and children.

​

A lifelong observer of human nature (she kept a thought journal through her teen years), she now seeks to explore the complex problems of today while writing emotionally resonant stories set in the near-future of faraway lands. She believes the heart of any good story is centered on relationships. Her stories explore themes of self-identity, tangled romance, and moral dilemmas, all set amidst the backdrop of political change.
