Betty
Culley’s debut novel in verse Three Things I Know Are True, was a Kids’
Indie Next List Top Ten Pick, an ALA-YALSA Best Fiction for Young
Adults Nominee, and the 2021 Maine Literary Book Award Winner for Young
People’s Literature. Her first middle-grade novel Down to Earth was
inspired by her fascination with meteorites, voyagers from another place
and time. It won the Maine Library Association’s 2021 Lupine Award and
was on the 2022-2023 Maine Student Book Award List. She lives in Central
Maine and writes both young adult and middle grade novels. Her latest
middle grade book is A Natural Genius of Ants, and her newest young
adult verse novel is The Name She Gave Me.
