Welcome to the official website for Saundra Mitchell! I’m the author of SHADOWED SUMMER, THE VESPERTINE, THE SPRINGSWEET, and forthcoming THE ELEMENTALS and MISTWALKER. I’m also the editor of the forthcoming YA anthology DEFY THE DARK.

For almost fifteen years, I was the sole screenwriter for the Book of Stories, On the Road, Fresh Films and Girls in the Director’s Chair short film series. In 2008, I headed and instructed the first Fresh Films Emerging Screenwriters program, and was the Head Writer and an Executive Producer for Fresh Films and Sprite Refreshing Films, and Head Writer for Skintimate Studios.

Now, I write for teens full time, and look forward to sharing fiction, non-fiction, and more with you in the coming years.
