B. Sharise Moore’s love of literature was ignited by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Judy Blume’s Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. After earning a BA in English from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, she began performing her poetry on stages throughout the country. To date, Moore’s poems have appeared in Starline, Fantasy Magazine, These Bewitching Bonds, Mermaid Monthly, and FIYAH Magazine of Black Speculative Fiction. At present, Moore is a writer/educator, curriculum designer, and the poetry editor at FIYAH Magazine of Black Speculative Fiction. Her debut YA novel, Dr. Marvellus Djinn’s Odd Scholars is available for purchase wherever books are sold. Conjuring Worlds: An Afrofuturist Textbook for Middle and High School students is forthcoming in March 2022 and Fangs, Feathers, and Folklore: Africa’s Amazing Beasts (a mythological field guide focused solely on the African continent) is forthcoming from Algonquin Young Readers in 2023. B. Sharise is represented by Laurie McLean, partner agent at Fuse Literary Agency. She lives in Baltimore, MD with her husband and young son.
