A writer and editor specializing in children's books and media, with an MFA in Writing for Children from The New School. I'm an expert at making complicated subjects sound simple and accessible, whether writing for children or explaining technical concepts to adults.
While on staff at Scholastic I developed book series, wrote and edited books and marketing materials, and reviewed and copy edited layouts. The books I worked on covered subjects like space, the universe, spy secrets, and magic tricks and history, and included online cartoons, print comics, board games, and more. Since leaving Scholastic, I have authored five children's books for the company, ranging from High School Musical fiction to library books about Spanish missions.
I understand the importance of deadlines and a quick turnaround, and am able to deliver a clean final product in a short period of time. |
