Katie Virnig studied journalism at Iowa State University despite knowing she never wanted to be a journalist. Instead, she spent the better part of a decade working in brand marketing and starting a now-retired DIY blog before discovering her love of fiction. She lives in Minnesota with her husband and dog. Must Be Nice is her debut novel.
