Early life and education

edit

McGuire was born on January 5, 1978, in Martinez, California.[2] McGuire has stated that her mother, Micki McGuire,[3] had "primary custody, two other children, no money, and an abusive husband who targeted [Seanan]".[4] During the summer, McGuire traveled with her father,[5] a carnival worker of Romani origin,[6] an experience she described as "Bradbury-esque running wild and unfettered through farmers' fields, building Ferris wheels and living on funnel cake."[7]

At age nine, McGuire was diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder.[8]

McGuire attended University of California, Berkeley, where she studied folklore and herpetology.[2]

Career

edit

Before becoming a full-time writer, McGuire worked at a reptile rescue organization.[9]

McGuire has published filk music, poetry, short fiction, essays, and novels. Most follow speculative fiction themes of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Her earliest publication was a contribution to the June 2002 poetry anthology Speculon.[10] She produced the musical album Pretty Little Dead Girl in 2006[11] and published her first short story in The Edge of Propinquity in 2008.[10] In 2009, she published her first novel, Rosemary and Rue, which has resulted in her longest-running series, with the 18th book, The Innocent Sleep, published in 2023.

In 2010, she published Feed under the pseudonym Mira Grant. This established Seanan McGuire as an urban fantasy writer and her pseudonym Mira Grant as a horror/science fiction writer.[12]

In 2018, McGuire began writing for Marvel Comics. She wrote two Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider series from 2018-2020 and has contributed to several other franchises.
