Whitney McGruder

Whitney McGruder is an author, editor, cosplayer, and self-proclaimed selfie queen. She can’t help but emulate strong female leads. While she’s a bit too obsessed with books, she puts her knowledge and experience to good use. McGruder strives to write, edit, spotlight, and indulge in inclusive stories.

Besides being an all-around fangirl, McGruder enjoys cross stitching, drawing, D&D, MMA practice, watching funny TikTok videos, hosting get-togethers, and making her husband laugh.

McGruder believes that book publishing should be about community—not competition. You can find her advice, books, and editing services over at witandtravesty.com. You can also be friends over on Instagram via @whit2ney.
