Charlotte McConaghy

Charlotte McConaghy has been writing from a young age. She has both a Graduate Degree in Screenwriting and a Master’s Degree in Screen Arts, and has worked in script development for film and television for several years. In her novel Migrations (Flatiron), set on the brink of catastrophe, a young woman chases the world’s last birds―and her own final chance for redemption. By following the ocean’s tides and the birds that soar above, Franny Stone can forget the losses that have haunted her life. Then the wild she loves begins to disappear, and she can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland to find the world’s last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. But when her quest threatens to endanger those around her, she must ask herself what she is really running toward―and running from. The Washington Post saw that “In many ways, this is a story about grieving, an intimate tale of anguish set against the incalculable bereavements of climate change…Franny charts our course through a novel that is efficient and exciting, indicting but forgiving, and hard but ultimately hopeful.”
