Micah Lueck

Stories with humor & heart.

I write children's books where narrators break the fourth wall, wrong guesses find right answers, and every laugh lands somewhere warm. More than a dozen manuscripts and counting.

About Micah

5th grade award certificate: Craziest Thinker and Questioner, presented to Micah Lueck, 1996
My first award. Still checks out.

After 15+ years in the corporate world, I traded boardrooms for board books — well, mostly picture books, but that isn't as catchy.

What began as a creative outlet became a calling. I've completed more than a dozen manuscripts (several with series potential), joined SCBWI, and immersed myself in critique groups. As a parent who cherishes storytime, I write the kind of books that make reading the best part of the day: interactive formats, narrators who break the fourth wall, and at least one joke the grown-ups will want to steal for later.

When I'm not writing, you'll find me on the softball field coaching my daughters — which turns out to be just another critique group, only louder, dirtier, and far less forgiving of my puns.

Stepping up to the plate first

Agents and editors: full manuscripts available on request — I'd love to hear from you.

For Grown-Up Readers

I also write literary fiction for adults — darker stories about complicated people and the moments that change them.
