My manuscript for ONE IS ENOUGH, a picture-book biography about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, was one of those nominated for the SCBWI Western Washington 2010 Outstanding Work-in-Progress awards! Here&#8217;s the official slide: This award [...]

		<description><![CDATA[My goal for this year is to receive as many as rejections as possible. I can be a little&#8212;okay, a lot&#8212;perfectionistic about where and when I send out submissions, so the intention of this goal was to push me to accomplish the part of publishing that I can control, submitting, and let go of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The prompt over at Sunday Scribblings today is dare. My first instinct was to write a spontaneous short fiction vignette—that is what prompts are all about, right? But, while I consider writing fiction a useful practice to improve my skills as well as a rewarding creative endeavor in its own right, my real passion is [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In the interests of pushing myself out of my comfort zone, I recently finished a class in magical realism.

No way! I&#8217;ve actually been taking a conscious break from article writing to focus on a book&#8230; or two. What started out as an idea for one middle grade [...]

I didn’t want to read about Eleanor Vincent’s devastating loss. For some reason, though, I felt compelled to try to comprehend [...]
