Who are you?

My name is Rosalyn Ransaw. I write middle-grade mysteries with twisty plots and diverse main characters. I have a B.A. from Columbia University in Political Science and currently live in Columbus, Ohio. When not writing, you can find me working my day job as a Digital Marketing Manager, scrolling through TikTok, or brainstorming my next book idea!

​

Do you have an agent?

I am represented by the wonderful Paige Terlip at Andrea Brown Literary Agency. Visit her website to see her most up-to-date manuscript wishlist and details on how to query her.

​

What books have you written?

SMOKE & MIRRORS is my debut (first!) novel and it is a middle-grade mystery. You can learn more about it here. 

​

Are you writing anything else?

Always! Sign up for my newsletter to be the first to find out when I have new books coming out!

​

I'm working on a school project and want to interview you, how can I reach you?

Thanks for thinking of me! I have a lot of information about myself on my website, but if you have a specific question that isn't answered here, feel free to email me using the Contact form on my website (with your parent's approval!).

​

What are your favorite books?

Too many to choose! Some that I really love are The Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling, Coop Knows the Scoop by Taryn Souders, Pax by Sara Pennypacker and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

​

What do you like to do (other than writing and reading)?

When I'm not writing, I like to watch movies, try new taco restaurants, scroll endlessly through Twitter, watch YouTube, pet the world's cutest dog, and of course, buy more books!

​

What's your favorite food/sports team/etc.?

I love eating nachos and buffalo chicken dip while cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes (O-H!). I like sunny summers, visiting the mountains in the fall and hot tubs in the snow.

 

Wait! I have another question about ___!
