Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell is living the dream! A multi-talented New Yorker cartoonist, author, comedian, and filmmaker. Her debut memoir, *Murder Book*, snagged the title of Best Graphic Novel of the Year at the 2022 Midwest Publishing Awards, solidifying her spot in the creative cosmos. With a knack for humor and insight, she has illustrated acclaimed books like *Feminist Fight Club* and *Are You My Uber?*, and her eagerly awaited second memoir, *The Joy of Snacking*, is set to grace bookshelves in 2025.
But before she became the queen of quirk and comic genius, Hilary was just a Sonoma girl with a love for Happy Dog, roller skating the bike path, and starting the dance team at Sonoma Valley High School. Oh, and let's not forget her cartooning roots at the beloved old-school movie rental gem, Movie Merchants, where she learned the cartooning ropes from the unforgettable Scott… uh, what was his last name again? It’s on the tip of her tongue, but that’s the magic of nostalgia! Hilary is a testament to how the quirks of our upbringing can shape our creative journeys.
