HI, I'M IVY NOELLE.
I’m an award-winning comic book writer, librarian, and publishing professional.
I write comics and prose for all ages. I’m the author of The Secret Garden on 81st Street (Little, Brown for Young Readers), the co-creator of the Dwayne McDuffie Award-winning graphic novel Archival Quality (Oni Press), and have written for series like Bountiful Garden (Mad Cave Studios) and anthologies like Dead Beats (A Wave Blue World).
In addition to my writing, I am a librarian and publishing professional and speak regularly at professional conferences and events. In 2015, I had the honor of being selected for the ALA’s Emerging Leaders program and in 2019, as a Publishers Weekly Star Watch honoree.
I live in the Philadelphia area with my husband and our two weird tiny dogs.
