M.E. Torrey has been captivated by words since childhood. By age eleven she was devouring classic literature, and after spending much of her youth living in France, England, and Germany, she developed a deep appreciation for culture, complexity, and the human story.
A published writer since age ten, M.E. Torrey has authored twelve children’s books with major publishers including Random House and Penguin, and worked for more than twenty years in the children’s book industry as an author, speaker, and educator.
She is also co-founder of Orphans Africa, a nonprofit that has helped educate thousands of children in Tanzania through sustainable boarding schools now fully operated by local leadership.
Holding degrees in Microbiology and Immunology and Religion, Torrey writes about moral complexity, social justice, and the possibility of healing in a divided world. Her award-winning debut novel for adults is Fox Creek.

She worked in the children's book industry for twenty years, not only as an author, but as a speaker and teacher at conferences, seminars, and schools.
In addition to her writing, Torrey is a co-founder of Orphans Africa, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity (www.orphansafrica.org) and served as Executive Director for seven years.
