Kim Turrisi began her career in film and television. She won a Daytime Emmy for a web series she co-created and wrote: Venice The Series. Her debut young adult novel Just a Normal Tuesday, loosely based on her own experience struggling through the emotional aftermath of her sister’s suicide. Sophomore novel, Carmilla, is based on the wildly popular web series of the same name.
Kim’s favorites: Creating playlists for her characters, pajamas, slippers, plaid flannel shirts with snack pockets, Van’s and socks. Her sock collection is legendary. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found obsessing over her dogs, Rocco, Auggie and Rugby.
Open to work for hire and IP work in middle grade and young adult fiction. Special interest in difficult issues, sports, and contemporary.
