He holds a B.A. in English writing from DePauw University and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Butler University.

Bryland Sutton grew up in rural Indiana and spent his childhood reading, writing, chasing imaginary creatures, and riding his bicycle on gravel roads. He was good in school, but once got caught trying to pry up the floor tiles after convincing his friends that there was a secret tunnel to an elf town below their classroom. He loves writing poems and stories for kids and has had work published in magazines including Spider, Humpty Dumpty, Stories for Children, Spaceports & Spidersilk, and Silver Blade.
