Rochelle Mazar
Librarian, Writer, Troublemaker
I’m an Associate Chief Librarian at Western University. I’ve been an academic librarian for a while now, and you may know me from my time at University of Toronto Mississauga, the University of Rochester, or the University of British Columbia. I love libraries, and I love working in them.
I’m from Guelph, Ontario. I went to school in Ottawa, Toronto, London, and Cambridge, Massachusetts. I love school, and I never really left.
I also write novels, mostly about 9-12 year olds (middle grade). I love writing about magic, speculative science, Neanderthals, queer joy, forever friendships, and neurodivergence from the inside. I also write about 11 year old girls who turn into a swarm of bees, trees who turn into 11 year old girls, and kids who see your emotions as coloured steam rising off your shoulders. And more.
I live in a house that looks like a wedding cake.
My favourite colour is yellow.
