Contact Me

For readers:

I love hearing from readers, so if you’d like to send a note, feel free to email using the form to the right. I try to write a quick note back if I can.

Note for teachers & librarians: If you are having your entire class or grade level write to me via email, please send one note from the class, rather than individual emails. I’m always happy to answer a question or two but hope you’ll understand that I can’t take time from writing to answer long lists of them.

For teachers, librarians, & conference organizers:

To book a conference appearance, writing workshop, school author visit, or virtual author visit, please use the contact form on the right side of this page.

For rights inquiries:

Inquiries about film, foreign, and other rights go through my agent, Jennifer Laughran of Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

For blurb/review requests:

I read a lot and talk about books a lot on social media.  I occasionally offer cover blurbs for titles that I really love. Any blurb requests should be submitted via my agent, Jennifer Laughran of Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

For writers:

Because my family, teaching, and writing keep me busy, I am unable to read, critique, or provide feedback on unpublished works outside of my professional coaching & consulting services. If you’re looking for more casual feedback, a writing critique group is the right place to get this kind of help, and the SCBWI discussion board is a good place to connect with other writers who might want to share critiques with you.

Here’s some of my best advice when it comes to writing for children.
