Jaime Formato is a writer, elementary school teacher, and tiefling rogue from northern Florida. Her days are spent hanging out with kids and reading, and the nights are for D&D, hockey, and writing. She lives in Florida with her amazing husband, their beautiful children, three cats that don’t love her enough, two dogs that love her too much, and a whole lotta nature.
Her debut novel ROLL FOR INITIATIVE, a geeky coming-of-age story, has been nominated for the 2026 Sasquatch Reading Award, the 2025 Sunshine State Young Reader Award, the 2025 Prairie Pasque Award, the 2025 Garden State Children's Book Award, and the 2025 Nēnē Award.
