Kit Danforth is an award-winning playwright, poet, and novelist whose stories whisk readers into realms of magic, mystery, and myth. With a passion for epic adventures, she writes sweeping adult fantasy and middle-grade quests filled with wonder and heart.

Kit grew up staging backyard plays where neighborhood kids, stuffed animals, and dolls became the stars of her latest dramas. That early love of storytelling never left her.

These days, she’s still a devoted keeper of a theatrical puppet troupe more than fifty strong—including tomtens, chameleons, wolves, dragons, and a very charismatic velvet lobster. On special occasions, she stages family shows complete with sets and opening nights.

Her home is brimming with books, art, and imagination. Inspired by Shakespeare, Tolkien, and timeless legends, her tales are penned in ink instead of performed beneath willow trees—but the magic is just as real.

When she’s not writing, she’s wandering art museums, researching ancient texts, and always thinking about what kind of challenges her characters will face next. Whether on the page or the puppet stage, storytelling is her passion—and she’s always dreaming up the next adventure.
