Welcome
to the website of Marta Murvosh
My passion is connecting people to stories, information and resources to inform and enrich their lives. I work as a teen librarian at a 23-library system in the Pacific Northwest and am a member of our Student Success Team. I encourage teens and tweens to explore STEM topics including robotics and coding and find themselves in books.
Prior to earning my Master's in Library Science, I was an award-winning newspaper journalist, covering crime, education and the environment. I continue to commit nonfiction on occasion, publishing in national trade magazines and journals including VOYA and Library Journal, most recently Movers and Shakers profiles.
I've presented at regional library conferences on STEM in the library and supporting intellectual freedom and at national and regional science fiction/fantasy conventions on graphic novels and the ways readers interact with speculative fiction. As treasurer of the nonprofit group Broad Universe, I support female-identifying and non-binary writers, editors and publishers in the speculative fiction genres.
Somehow, I find the time to pen short stories for speculative fiction markets. My story "Mothers and Daughters" was published in 2019 by Abyss and Apex. My story “Cranes’ Return” was published in Tales of the Sunrise Lands, an Anthology of Japanese Fantasy in late 2017 from Guardbridge Books. I blog very rarely.
I will talk anywhere, anytime about books, the appeal of graphic novels and genre fiction, the information needs of teens and tweens, the craft of writing, research skills, digital and information literacy, STEM in the library, and intellectual freedom. I'm always looking for my next challenge.
