Makenzie Hice

Makenzie Hice grew up in Bend, Oregon where she first fell in love with storytelling through filmmaking. She spent her summer days walking to her library and leaving notes in books. She still wonders if anybody ever found them. While attending Portland State University to study film, she uncovered her passion for screenwriting. After receiving the invaluable advice to try writing for other forms, she decided to take a chance at fulfilling her dream of writing a picture book. She currently works in a library in Portland, Oregon where she is happy to be surrounded and inspired by thousands of stories.
