Writing and Editing Highlights

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:47:53 +0000

In addition to occasionally writing books for children, I’ve been professionally committed to publishing books for young readers for more than 15 years. I’ve worked closely with myriad formats and various genres for young readers of all ages, from novelties for toddlers, picture books for preschoolers, and beginning readers to chapter books, tween novels, and young adult fiction. I’m an experienced copywriter and seasoned writing coach, and I have also written and edited content for magazines, newspapers, and other print media.

But maybe a visit here on my website is the next best thing to chatting in person, so come on in. Let’s talk!
