Media bio

Gigi Griffis is a critically acclaimed author of novels for adults and teens, including We Are the Beasts. She’s a sucker for little-known histories, “unlikable” female characters, and all things Europe. After almost ten years of semi-nomadic life, she now lives in Portugal with an opinionated Yorkie-mix named Luna and a collection of very nerdy books.

Gigi’s work has been translated into 20+ languages, and she has been featured in Teen Vogue, Netflix Tudum, The New York Times, Noble Blood, Salon, Gay Times, and more.
