Sean Petrie makes up poems for people on an old typewriter. That's the source of two of his books, Typewriter Rodeo and Listen to the Trees. He also writes fiction and nonfiction for kids, including the middle-grade motocross daredevil series, Jett Ryder (Jolly Fish Press, 2021), and an upcoming pet poems collection.

Sean lives in Austin, TX, grew up in Columbus, OH, and loves traveling -- especially to Seattle and New England. He has an MFA in writing (Vermont College) and law degree (Stanford). With the other side of his brain, Sean also teaches legal writing at the University of Texas Law School.

He loves donuts, Buffy, and any book by Ellen Raskin. ...more
