Rebecca Mahoney

Rebecca Mahoney is a versatile storyteller specializing in Young Adult (YA) and Middle Grade (MG) fiction. Deeply rooted in the world of audio as well, she is the co-creator of the audio drama serial, The Bridge Podcast.

Creative Philosophy

Rebecca is a passionate advocate for the “fantastical and creepy” in children’s literature. She believes that elements of horror—such as ghosts, monsters, and the unknown—provide young readers with a unique “cathartic power” and the necessary language to better understand their own identities and emotions.
