I Would Love To Hear From You.
If you are an agent or editor and want to know more about my writing projects or illustrations let’s connect.
As a former SCBWI regional advisor I am available to present at workshops and school-library visits on a variety of topics. Want a manuscript critique? I’d love to work with you on your project (MG and YA). In addition to an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults, I was a Minnesota SCBWI Writing Mentor. Need input on your portfolio? As a former creative director, I have reviewed many portfolios, including MCAD student illustration portfolios. Need design services? I have 20+ years of experience.
Do you want to write or illustrate childrens’ books but don’t know where to start? Join SCBWI, take a class from the Highlights Foundation, and read, read, read!
