Manuscript Coaching

Picture Book Manuscript Consultation Services

In addition to college and community creative writing craft workshops, I’ve been a picture book writing mentor for Inked Voices, Picture Book Author Academy, and faculty mentor at the Big Sur Children’s Writers Workshops. I enjoy working with writers who create stories that young readers will want to read again and again!
