Welcome

Dear Everyone,

Welcome to my 1072studio website!

The stories I write are primarily for children and the middle-grade tween.

I have two picture books, and I've heard that children on the neurodivergent spectrum LOVE the Monty book!

And out of my three MIDDLE-grade books, the one I consider to be a magnum opus in children’s literature, soon the be a middle-grade classic is called, Peach and Plum. Obviously girls will love Peach and Plum, but boys will love the book just as much!

All I ask is that young readers give my books a chance.

Sincerely,

M Johnson

Why "1072 Studio"?

The numbers 1072 are the last four digits in the house/landline phone number my mother had for 41 years.

I tried "Carte Blanche" and "Butter Cake Studios" (which sounded too delicious), but I went with a name that meant something deeply personal. A home phone number for 41 years is a big deal.
