Samuel Teer —

Samuel Teer is the Printz award winning writer of BROWNSTONE (Versify/Harper Collins). Samuel was born to a deaf American maintenance worker and a Guatemalan immigrant that spoke English as a distant second language — he took the obvious route and became a comics writer.

He was raised in the suburbs outside of St. Louis, MO. He currently lives in Colorado with his wife Andrea (an educator) and their lab-mixes, Olive and Cheese

Samuel’s YA graphic novel, BROWNSTONE with artist Mar Julia was published by Versify/Harper Collins in June 2024. It received a Harvey nomination and made Kirkus and Publisher’s Weekly Best Books of 2024 lists. It was awarded the Michael L. Printz award in 2025.
