Kid Freelance

With my mom--the finest 1st grade teacher ever--in Colorado.

From trade books to reading programs to classroom magazine articles, I deliver the material you envision—when you need it, at the level you want it, in words that reach kids and teens.

I'm the author of 25 commercially published books and more than who-the-heck-knows articles for the educational and youth publishing market. I blend thorough research with storytelling skills—plus I'm reliable, flexible, thorough, and thrive in the collaborative process.

In June and July 2009 I'll be teaching this workshop—Writing Nonfiction for Children and Teens—through the University of Colorado's Personal Enrichment Program. You can read more about it at conted.colorado.edu. It should be a blast!
