The following projects are represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency:
ONE IS ENOUGH (Picture Book Biography)
The inspirational true story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, who bicycled across Ghana with only one leg and forever changed how his society treats people with disabilities. A draft of this manuscript was nominated for an “Outstanding Work-in-Progress Award” at SCBWI Western Washington’s 19th Annual Writing and Illustrating for Children Conference in 2010! (Please email me if you’re interested in seeing this completed manuscript.)
YES YOU CAN: HOW TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD (Teen Nonfiction)
A how-to guide to social entrepreneurship targeted at teens who want to change the world but either don’t believe they can or just don’t know how. The book was inspired by David Bornstein’s HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD and is based, in part, on my experiences as a volunteer with Youth Venture in Seattle. An early draft of this manuscript was nominated for the Sue Alexander Award at the SCBWI Annual Summer Conference in 2008 and an “Outstanding Work-in-Progress Award” at SCBWI Western Washington’s 18th Annual Writing and Illustrating for Children Conference in 2009! (Please email me if you’re interested in seeing a full proposal for this project.)
