Charlotte Lillie Balogh

Every type of student at Hancock High is a suspect when Troy Richards, the school’s star lacrosse player, is found dead on the night before graduation.

Charlotte Lillie Balogh is a queer writer and longtime superhero fanatic currently living in Los Angeles, CA. She wrote and self-published her first young-adult book PRETTY WEAPON when she was only sixteen years old, and soon after began attending book signings and creative writing workshops at local schools; all of which fostered her interest in working with young people and writing genre stories for a YA audience. Graduating as a Remembrance Scholar from Syracuse University, CLB launched into writing for television and film by working at DC Entertainment. While at DC, CLB bridged the DC Creative Affairs and Warner Bros. theatrical teams on projects including SHAZAM!, BIRDS OF PREY, and WONDER WOMAN 1984. In addition to features, CLB worked on THE SEVEN MAGIC LANDS and the critically acclaimed DOOMSDAY CLOCK comic book series, plus TITANS, DOOM PATROL, and STARGIRL for television, all honing her unique perspective of story from both the Studio and Producer’s side of the table. After winning numerous awards for her screenwriting, including the FINAL DRAFT BIG BREAK SCREENWRITING CONTEST and the SHORE SCRIPTS TV PILOT CONTEST, in November 2023 CLB sold her debut YA thriller KILL THE LAX BRO to Kelsey Horton at Delacorte. The book is scheduled for release summer 2025.
