E.K. Johnston lives in southwestern Ontario.

Praise for Exit, Pursued by a Bear“A raw, powerful story that’ll stay with you long after it’s over.”—Buzzfeed “E. K. Johnston has a seemingly limitless range. This is realistic fiction at its best.”—The Globe & Mail “Soberly triumphant.”—Toronto Star “A tenderly written, heartfelt coming of age and an incisive, sensitive examination of trauma after an assault. Fresh, memorable, and thought-provoking.”—Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author “A unflinching exploration of what it means to be a girl, what it means to be a friend, and what it means to be a survivor. A determined, transformative book that every teen girl should read.” —Tess Sharpe, author of The Girls I’ve Been “Fierce and gorgeously drawn, this is a rape story that doesn’t focus on victimhood.”—Booklist, starred review“Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a story of triumph, not just survival.”—Quill & Quire, starred review
