Phil Coleman lives at the end of the road in the side of a mountain. Having grown up with hobbits, tesseracts, and spaceships, he is a lover of stories that take us to other worlds to teach us about our own.

He is the author of five books for both middle grade and young adult readers, has a creative writing MFA specializing in genre fiction from Western Colorado University, and has been a writer in residence with the Crested Butte Center for the Arts.

His stories are about grounded characters taking a stand despite incredible odds, with themes of family, friendship, and the environment.
