Book Ambassador: Kate Fussner

Kate Fussner will sign copies of her new middle-grade book, "The Song of Us."  A queer in-verse retelling of “Orpheus and Eurydice,” Fussner’s debut follows the story of two middle school girls learning to love each other and themselves as they fight not to lose one another.

Kate holds her B.A. from Vassar College, her M.Ed. from the University of Massachusetts Boston, and her M.F.A. in Creative Writing for Young People from Lesley University. She is the recipient of the W.K. Rose Fellowship from Vassar College (2022). After over a decade of teaching English for the Boston Public Schools, Kate now writes books, delights her wonderful wife with homemade baked goods, and walks her dramatic dog, Weasley.
