Overview

Let's develop your book idea and turn it into a kid-favorite bestseller! Have an idea and don't know where to go with it or who the best audience is? Let's dream together. I'm an author of children's picture, non-fiction, activity, and novelty books for Scholastic, National Geographic, LEGO, My Little Pony, Shopkins, Nickelodeon's Shimmer and Shine, and more. I love whimsy, humor, mystery, nature, travel, space, animals, and I have a particular knack for writing activity books and guided diaries. I currently work at Scholastic Book Fairs helping source the best books for kids, and I've previously worked with PBS Kids, AOL Kids, and the Boys and Girls Club.
