Early life edit
Grayson was born in New Haven, Connecticut and raised in Northern California. Her early ambition was to be an actress; she studied at the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival and attended the San Francisco School of the Arts, but while in community college she decided to become a writer instead, and subsequently transferred to Bard College in upstate New York.[2]
Her interest in comics was first kindled when she happened to see an episode of Batman: The Animated Series on television.[citation needed]
Career edit
Grayson's first comic book script to see print was "Like Riding a Bike", a 10-page short that appeared in the Batman Chronicles in 1997.[3] Other work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics soon followed.
Personal life edit
Grayson is openly bisexual.[2][4] She has insulin-dependent Type I Diabetes, lives with Cody, an assistance dog trained to alert her to severe drops in her blood glucose levels, and volunteers for Early Alert Canines.[2][5] She has also experienced chronic depression.[2]
