I grew up in Berkeley, California in a house filled with books. I started telling stories before I could read, so my mother took dictation until I learned how to turn the words in my head into words on a page. She knew I was going to be a writer when I grew up, but it took me a while to catch up.

THE PIONEER is about a young woman struggling to deal with the loss of her beloved big brother while her family fights to survive on a brand new planet. It will be published by HarperTeen in March of 2019.

These days, I live in Oregon with my husband, a Robotics professor at Oregon State University, and my daughter, a toddler who loves to sing.

Hi Bridget! I'm a big fan of science fiction, but it feels super challenging to write (sort of like predicting the future would be). What science fiction writers are your favorites, and what did reading them teach you about writing a futuristic book of your own?

But the world building is one of my favorite parts of writing sci fi. I think my non-fiction interests in space and science and history actually contribute to that more than my fictional tastes (though I grew up on a steady diet of Anne McCaffrey, Tolkien, Star Wars, Marion Zimmer Bradley... the list goes on!). I track tons of science news to see things that might inspire a new world or story, and I actually find historical non-fiction really help. The past is an incredibly weird place, and the little details of the past can be repurposed to build new societies pretty well.(less)

If you had to pick a creative field aside from writing, what would you choose? Why?

Bridget Tyler Oh, that's a good one! I think something that let me work with my hands and be physical (the opposite of sitting at a laptop all day). Maybe wood work…moreOh, that's a good one! I think something that let me work with my hands and be physical (the opposite of sitting at a laptop all day). Maybe wood working or carpentry? Or architecture? (less)

Small Pleasures

Last night, I found to a good stopping point in Alex Bell's The Ocean Squid Explorer's Club (This is the fourth book in her extraordinarily fun series. Start here if you are looking for an exciting but not terrifying fantasy for your small humans... or yourself). It's not that easy to find a place to stop reading Alex Bell's books - sometimes, it's the kid demanding a few more pages. Sometimes I s
