Closed to Queries

I’m currently closed to queries. I’ll announce here when I do plan to reopen, but it probably won’t be until at least mid- to late-2019.

My Darling Jewelry

 

 

In my free time I enjoy making jewelry and other accessories, so in order to finance my hobby, I’ve taken to selling some of my fabulous creations on Etsy. Take it from me, there’s some great stuff there. And I’m totally not biased at all.

The good news is that picture books with rhyme can work, but it takes some effort to get them there. Learn how in an online workshop for picture book writers that consists of 3 half-hour long videos that breaks down the process and gives you tools to improve your own manuscripts.

About

I travel whenever possible, so I’m never sure where I’ll be at the end of the day. One place you can be sure to catch me is on Twitter, or find me in these other places.
