I love books, but I think I love the process of bringing a book to life even more. With a love for KidLit and a brain for business and marketing, I believe children's books are so much more than a simple manuscript. (Though certainly not less!) From the illustrations to the size to the paper weight to how you position them in the marketplace I look at every project uniquely to how I can steward it from conception to completion. Every book is its own work of art, and I can't wait to help you with yours. 

In fact, in first grade, I won my first writing award after I entered my story, "Mackenzie's Dog Goldie" in an AT&T writing contest. I still have the certificate and ribbon. (I'm thinking about putting them up on my office wall.) I had no idea the foreshadowing that would play into my future career. Childhood-me would be shocked and impressed that this dream became a reality.

I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember. 

Like you, I want to create true, beautiful, and helpful picture books that children will read again and again.
