PRESS KIT
Kerry Hansen is the author of Polterghost, a middle-grade novel. After earning her Master’s in English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she spent over twenty years in education as a composition instructor, high school learning resource center director, and writing specialist for historically underrepresented college students. She also taught preschool while she raised her two kids.
When she's not writing, she's a bookseller at an independent bookstore, serves as president of her local library board, and is an active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI). She lives in rural Wisconsin with her husband and absurdly large dog.
