About Marie Henry
Marie Henry doesn’t write about teens as if they’re waiting to become adults, she writes them as they are: scrolling through fractured group chats at 2 a.m., drafting protest signs on napkins, debating ethics in AP Bio while their phone buzzes with a TikTok comment that just went viral. Her breakthrough novel, 'Static Bloom,' grew from real transcripts of youth-led climate hearings in Portland and Houston, interwoven with verbatim text messages from anonymous high school organizers. She co-founded the 'Draft Line' initiative, which funds school-based writing labs where students workshop fiction alongside policy memos, and publishes their hybrid work in quarterly zines distributed to 147 public libraries. Her editing process includes mandatory sensitivity reads by three teen consultants paid per hour, not per project. When she speaks at conferences, she hands microphones to audience members under 18 first, and only takes the stage after they’ve spoken for seven minutes.
