ABOUT ME

I am so  glad I decided to join The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. There are multiple benefits which I had been seeking; one can connect with others, apply for awards and grants, and find promotional opportunities. If you’re interested in writing and illustrating for children and young adults, it’s a terrific international group. I’m happy to be a member!
