Biography


Tucholke grew up on a farm in the Midwest and has since lived in a variety of places, including Colorado, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Oregon and Scotland. She currently lives in Savannah, Georgia.[2]


Career


Tucholke was initially represented by Joanna Volpe of New Leaf Literary, who offered representation within 24 hours of receiving the manuscript for Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.[3] The book sold to Penguin's imprint Dial, who purchased the book in a preemptive deal.

Tucholke edited the anthology Slasher Girls & Monster Boys (Penguin, 2015), and her third novel Wink Poppy Midnight was published by Penguin Books in 2016. She contributed to Because You Love to Hate Me, an anthology of short stories written by 13 YA authors who were paired with 13 BookTubers published in July 2017.[4]

The Boneless Mercies, a gender-bent retelling of Beowulf, was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux in October, 2018. A companion novel, The Seven Endless Forests, a gender-bent retelling of the King Arthur legend with a Norse twist, was published in 2020.

Tucholke's first picture book, Beatrice Likes the Dark will be published in September, 2022 from Algonquin, an imprint of Workman Publishing Company with illustrations by Khoa Lee. A second picture book, Merry and Hark: A Christmas Story with illustrations by Rebecca Santo is anticipated in 2023 also from Algonquin.

Tucholke is now represented by Eric Myers of Myers Literary Management.[5]
