“When I was a kid, girls who looked like me didn’t get to be main characters in stories,” she says. The Glass Witch is a spooky fantasy in which the main character reluctantly joins a Halloween-themed pageant to rid the town of a vicious witch hunter. Lindsay’s debut middle grade novel, The Glass Witch, is being released by Scholastic on October 18, 2022. She joined the West Carrollton Power of the Pen team in 7th grade, learning lessons that have stayed with her throughout her journey as a writer: “The importance of finishing projects (you can never publish if you never get to “The End!”), working under a deadline, how to handle feedback on my writing, dealing with rejections (my writing was rejected 104 times before I found a literary agent), and always striving to keep learning and improving my craft, to name just a few!” Lindsay says. “I just wanted to make someone else feel the shock and tension and excitement I felt when I sunk into a great story,” she says. Lindsay Puckett started writing short stories at the age of 10, when her voracious reading habit fueled a desire to reach others.
