Three Keys to Writing a Novel

I'm pleased to share my article for the We Need Diverse Books blog. With thanks for all they do to get diverse books into children's hands!

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.

Applications for next year's fellowship are open until July 1!

At the virtual reception in October 2020, I read from my manuscript along with the outgoing writer in residence, Shawnna Thomas. This fall, I will read alongside the incoming resident. Stay tuned for a date.
