Melodie  Coulter-Pennington

Melodie Coulter-Pennington grew up with her nose in a book, making her home wherever she could place her latest read when it was finally time for bed. Her bedside table, piled with books, now lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her day job is the best in the world, a school librarian, and when she's not doing that, she writes, plays video games, and haunts Tulsa's many amazing local businesses with her partner and their two kids.

Melodie co-founded the Tulsa-area nonprofit Third Space Society, providing free and low-cost improv experiences to the community. She currently serves as the executive director.
