About Me
I’m a freelance writer, children’s author, creative consultant, and award-winning poet. After a successful career in biotech law, I obtained my MFA from and taught creative writing at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Currently, I consult on manuscripts () and speak at schools, museums, and libraries (). Recently, together with my business partner, I launched Write On Productions, a production company with an online teaching platform. Our first publication, Writing Kidlit 101: A Self-Guided Course, released in January 2023. Our second book, Writing Kidlit 102: Your First Draft will come out in December 2023. My newest picture book, the humorous Featherita (Pegasus 2023) will release later this year.
