Ophelia Darkly is a dream maker, shapeshifter, doll conjurer, piano romancer, silent film star, and faerie speaker. She began writing in dusty corners and peach coloured rooms at the age of six and hasn't stopped since. She enjoys the ocean under stars, talking with animals, finding treasures in antique shops, the sound of trains, and leaving pennies for people to wish upon.

She graduated from The University of Iowa creative writing track. Ophelia currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
