LM Copeland has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. She spent more than 15 years as a print journalist, editor, and graphic designer before reclaiming her beloved Oxford comma and moving into the world of public relations and content writing.

When she’s not at a keyboard, she divides her time between playing board games, kayaking, gardening, and nurturing her love for all things creepy and spooky. These days, her home base is Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she and her partner dedicate most of their energy to wrangling their small herd of cats – with varying degrees of success.

Copeland’s short story "Wretched Children" appears in Not As It Seems: A Gothic Anthology (2025). Follow her on Instagram @authorlmcopeland.
