 A school librarian for many years, Augusta Scattergood is now a full-time writer. Having worked in libraries in Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, and Georgia—and read thousands of books along the way—she thinks writing and being a librarian are the two best professions in the world.
Her first book, Glory Be, published by Scholastic Press in 2012, was named to numerous state reading lists, was one of Amazon's Best Middle Grade novels of the year and received the SCBWI Southeast region's Crystal Kite and a 2013 Mississippi Author Award.
Her second middle-grade novel, The Way to Stay in Destiny, is set in Florida and narrated by a piano-playing, baseball-tossing boy. It received a starred listing on Bank Street’s Best Children’s Books of the year, 2016.
Making Friends with Billy Wong, was published by Scholastic in August, 2016. The story of a friendship between Azalea, a young girl who comes from Texas to help her grandmother, and a boy named Billy Wong, recently moved to Arkansas to attend the public school there, this novel was based on the stories of Chinese American immigrants living in the South during the pre-Civil Rights era.
Augusta now lives and writes in Washington, DC.
