Morgan Paige Towle

Paige Towle is a writer and educator based just outside Nashville, Tennessee. She has spent the past 15 years teaching high school English, designing courses that challenge students to think deeply, question assumptions, and engage with ideas in meaningful ways.

Her work spans memoir, education, and children’s literature, but each piece is rooted in the same instinct: to pay attention to the moments that shape us—often quietly, and often long after they’ve passed.

Her memoirs, *What the Fire Left* and *The Room With No Windows*, explore personal experience with honesty and depth, focusing on identity, memory, and the aftermath of moments that don’t resolve easily. Her work in education, including *Rewriting the Way We Learn*, examines how we define learning in a rapidly changing world shaped by artificial intelligence. Her children’s books, *Lines and Leaves* and *Too Loud, Too Bright*, reflect a quieter, more intuitive understanding of how children experience and interpret their surroundings.

She lives on a small farm with her husband and their two sons, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. That experience continues to shape both her teaching and her writing, grounding her work in attention, nuance, and a belief that not everything meaningful is immediately visible.
