M.J. Beasi is a YA author, former singer, songwriter, arts educator, and founder of a teen opera workshop in western New England. As a librettist/adapter, M.J. has written IL SOGNO D'ARIANNA, an English-language narrative adapted from the madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi, an expanded adaptation of Henry Purcell’s DIDO AND AENEAS, and a queer adaptation of Handel’s RINALDO. Their own songwriting and vocals are featured on their 2002 album, DORRIE’S TRUE STORY. M.J.’s debut novel, I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD, will be released in March 2026 from Page Street Publishing.
When not writing, M.J. can be found reading, gaming, obliviously lost in their own inner world, streaming on Twitch at the crack of dawn, or binging cartoons with their spouse and cat. Some of the many keys to M.J.’s heart include rambling takes on musical theater, Vernors ginger ale, oatmeal scotchies, and queer disasters in any setting.
