About Morgan

Morgan J. Watchorn is the author of sci-fi and fantasy books that feature unapologetic girls at the heart of cataclysms—either fighting or causing them. Her debut YA fantasy novel FIRE TO THE STARS will release from Knopf/Penguin Random House in spring 2026.

A Southern California native, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of California Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in Japanese Language and Literature and an overachiever complex that both haunts and motivates her to this day. Her manga and light novel translations can be found in most major bookstores. When she’s not writing, she can be found at the barn with her spoiled horses.

She is represented by Josh Adams of Adams Literary.
