Hi there! I’m the author of over a dozen novels published by Penguin Random House, Scholastic, and Little, Brown, as well as a freelance ghostwriter and developmental editor for a book packager. My books have received starred reviews from Kirkus, Booklist, and Publisher’s Weekly, and have earned honors including multiple Junior Library Guild selections, the CBCC Best of 2019 List, and the American Library Association’s Rainbow List and Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers List.

In the last eight years, I’ve led over 500 creative writing workshops and taught over a thousand writers. If you're looking for writing craft videos + activities to help you on your WIP, tips on becoming a published author, and fun creative writing exercises and prompts, you've come to the right place!

I'm represented by Rick Richter at Aevitas Creative Management.

I'm not seeking sponsorships or brand partnerships at this time.
