Thea Swanson was born in Los Angeles, California but was mostly raised in Buffalo, New York. Now in the state of Washington for more than twenty years, she has concluded that home is within the walls she inhabits, or walking under the sun or stars, anywhere.

Thea holds an MFA in Writing from Pacific University in Oregon and a BA with honors in English from Buffalo State College. She is the Founding Editor of Club Plum Literary Journal and has taught English to middle-schoolers, high-schoolers and college-schoolers. She has managed the editing of scientific journals and has written dictionary definitions for English learners. The words she likes most are the ones that scare her with their beauty and strangeness.
