Margaret Stohl (; born 1967) is an American novelist. She is the author of 14 novels, as well as 5 volumes of comics and several video games. She lives in Santa Monica, California. Early life and education Margaret Stohl was born in Pasadena, California, 1967. A graduate of Amherst College, where she won the Knox Prize for English Literature, Stohl earned a master's degree in English from Stanford University and pursued, but did not complete, a doctorate in American Studies at Yale University. Stohl was a teaching assistant in Romantic Poetry at Stanford and in Film Studies at Yale. She attended the Creative Writing program of the University of East Anglia, where she was mentored by the Scottish poet George MacBeth. Writing career Novels Stohl is best known as the co-author, along with her friend Kami Garcia, of the "Caster Chronicles" book series, starting with Beautiful Creatures. The series, consisting of four books, two spin off books, and a novella collection, is generally classified as contemporary young adult fantasy, with particular interest for teens. It is set in the fictional small town of Gatlin, South Carolina in the Southern United States, and deals with a group of townspeople, friends, witches (called "Casters" in the books), and numerous other magical creatures. Beautiful Creatures debuted on the New York Times Best Seller List and quickly became an international bestseller, published in 39 countries and translated into 28 languages. It was made into the 2013 film Beautiful Creatures. which featured an all-star cast including Alden Ehrenreich as well as Emmy Rossum, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Zoe Deutch, Rachel Brosnahan and Thomas Mann. The film adaptation was written and directed by Richard LaGravenese. Both the books and the film adaptation have found wide audiences. Her sci-fi duology the Icons Series is in development at Alcon Entertainment, the company behind the Beautiful Creatures feature film. In April 2017, Stohl released her eleventh YA novel, Royce Rolls, a satirical look at Los Angeles' celebrity culture. The book was published by Disney's Freeform Press, and released with a trailer lampooning a reality television family. In 2018 and 2019, Stohl collaborated with her former husband Lewis Peterson on her first two middle-grade novels, Cats Vs. Robots: This is War and Cats Vs. Robots: Now With Fleas. Both books were illustrated by their child, Kay Peterson, a student at Maryland Institute College of Art. Stohl subsequently released the Little Women re-telling Jo And Laurie, co-written with Melissa de la Cruz, in spring 2020. Comics In 2014, Stohl began to work with Sana Amanat of Marvel Comics and Emily Meehan of Marvel Press (a part of Disney Publishing) on a series of YA novels featuring the popular Marvel Avengers character Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow. Black Widow Forever Red was a New York Times bestseller, and given generally favorable reviews, including an "A" rating by Entertainment Weekly. Black Widow Red Vengeance soon followed. After writing two one-shots for Marvel Comics (based on a YA character invented for the novels, Ava Orlova, also known as the Red Widow) Stohl was asked to write the Mighty Captain Marvel comic in December 2016, followed by Generations, Legacy: Dark Origins, and Life of Captain Marvel. After G. Willow Wilson, Stohl became the second female creator ever invited to attend the Marvel Creative Summit. Life of Captain Marvel, a retelling of Carol Danvers' origin story in advance of her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with artists Carlos Pacheco and Marguerite Sauvage) was well-received and well-reviewed on July 18, 2018. G. Willow Wilson tweeted, "I have rarely heard editors talk about any book the way they talk about this one...an innovative, literary upending of the superhero genre. Do not miss!" Margaret has previously released three collected volumes of Mighty Captain Marvel as trade editions; "Life" was the fourth. In 2019, Marvel announced that Stohl would be penning a new Spider-Man: Noir series (with artist Juan Ferreyra) for a March 2020 release. Spider-Man Noir: Twilight in Babylon was released as a trade paperback in fall 2020. On August 20, 2020, Stohl was the subject of the fifth episode of Marvel's Storyboards, filmed at the U.S.S. Intrepid in Manhattan, with Marvel Entertainment Chief Creative Officer, Joe Quesada. Games Stohl works in the video game industry. Notable writing credits include Activision's adventure games The Elk Moon Murder, Zork Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor (the latter as lead designer, for which she was nominated for "Most Innovative Game Design" at the Game Developers' Conference Spotlight Awards in 1998); Westwood Studios' real-time strategy titles Dune 2000, Command & Conquer: Red Alert Retaliation, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun; Infogrames' Slave Zero; Midway Games' Legion: The Legend of Excalibur and the 2002 Defender remake; Activision's Apocalypse and Fantastic Four. In 1999, Stohl co-founded the developer 7 Studios with her former husband Lewis Peterson; they ran the studio together until 2011, when 7 was acquired by Activision. After taking a hiatus from the game industry to establish her career as a novelist, in 2017 Stohl began to work as a consulting writer for Activision Blizzard again, ultimately joining the game developer Bungie as a narrative director for Destiny 2. In July 2018, her twitter and instagram profiles listed her position as Bungie Incubation Narrative Director. Other game work includes the consulting company, Foundational IP Group. Her brother, David Stohl, runs Infinity Ward and works on the Call of Duty franchise. Book festivals Stohl co-founded two literacy-based non-profits for teen and youth, the YALLFest book festival in Charleston, South Carolina in 2011 (with her former writing partner, Kami Garcia, as well as Jonathan Sanchez of Charleston's Blue Bicycle Books) and the Yale-West book festival in Santa Monica, California in 2014 (with best-selling author and friend, Melissa de la Cruz). The two festivals are the largest dedicated youth and teen festivals in the United States. As an outspoken LGBT advocate and parent of a non-binary child, Stohl is also a regional board member for Facing History and Ourselves, an organization dedicated to advocating empathy and eliminating bias (whether based on race, religion, gender or sexuality) in schools.
