Writer-in-Residence 2020-2021

I had a fabulous year working on my historical young adult novel, All You Have to Do, during my Writer-in-Residence fellowship supported by the Associates of the Boston Public Library.

At the virtual reception in October 2020, I read from my manuscript along with the outgoing writer in residence, Shawnna Thomas.

At the virtual reception in October, 2021, I read another scene from my novel, alongside the incoming fellows. You can watch the recording here.
