Augusta Scattergood
Augusta Scattergood grew up in the Mississippi Delta and left to attend college at the University of North Carolina and library school at Simmons College. But she never really left her home state, even while living in New Jersey.
Her first novel is set in Mississippi during Freedom Summer, 1964. GLORY BE will be published in January, 2012, by Scholastic. Her editor is Andrea Pinkney. Augusta is represented by Linda Pratt of Wernick & Pratt Agency.
A school librarian for over twenty years, Augusta now lives in Madison NJ and, mostly, in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she reviews books while working hard on a new middle-grade novel.

Augusta Scattergood recommends
Gut Reaction (2024)
Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt
"I would have finished Gut Reaction in one swoop--but I didn't want it to end. I especially loved the baking connection, but the story's honesty, the humor and the friendships added so many layers. If the topic seems serious--and it is, the way Tess struggles to accept her illness will resonate with readers. Tess Medina is an inspiration. Her story will be one you'll remember long after that last page is turned."
