Beth Price Morgan writes and illustrates books full of vivid adventure and magic. As an art college dean and church elder, she is passionate about helping people mend their hearts and launch into their destinies.

Beth studied interdisciplinary studies at Miami University (Oxford, OH), focusing on creative writing and illustration, and also received an MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College (Boston, MA). Beth’s career journey included stints as a writing coach and instructor at various New England colleges, a career design studio director, church leadership program director, Boston tour guide, and bookstore employee. She is currently a dean of “career things” at Montserrat College of Art and an active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

Beth’s short stories and microfiction were published in Inklings Arts & Letters (Spring 2004), What if?: Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers (3rd Edition), and Heroic Care: 35 Writers and Artists Show What it Means to Care (2021).

Beth grew up in an interfaith Jewish and Christian household, and so did her husband. Now, she joyfully incorporates both Jewish and Christian traditions into her family life and writing. Beth and her husband love celebrating overlapping holidays like Passover and Easter with their son!
