Marcy Beller Paul is a poet, author, former editor, and full-time mom who still has all the notes she passed in seventh grade (and knows how to fold them).

She is the author of Underneath Everything (Balzer + Bray). Her poetry has appeared in Blood Tree Literature, Willows Wept Review, and Gaia Lit. Her work is also featured in The Body: An Anthology of Poetry (Rough Diamond). She worked as an editor at Scholastic, HarperCollins, and Henry Holt, before moving to New Jersey where she lives with her family, a loyal dog, and a chaotic cat.
