5th grade is embarrassing enough. But being known as the girl with asthma makes it's 100x worse. Can Iris beat her reputation and become something more than the girl who can't breathe before she enters middle school?

Found this photo of me at my first fishing derby 🎣 and now I'm drafting a chapter book about a silly boy trying his best to win a $300 prize pool for catching the biggest fish. (Now that I've been querying for almost a year, it's been hard to write, but inspiration has struck!)

Falling in love with your childhood best friend.
Meeting your favorite rock & roll band.
Getting in trouble with the cops.
Turning 15.
The Summer of 1975 couldn't get crazier right?

Honest opinions only. Is it cringey to make a banner of all the poems I wrote about my fiancé in high-school for our wedding? Some are god awful, but that makes it sweet... right?

Got my first ever publishing offer... The catch? It can be edited and published for a small price of $10k.
Oh, how I hate hybrid/vanity presses claiming to be trad.
Why do they have to prey on desperate authors who want to tell the stories from their hearts?

I entered #SmallPitch on a whim this week. I never do well at pitch contests. I haven't received any likes in the past, so I didn't expect anything, and yet I woke up to a request!!! I'M SO EXCITED.

I may not have an agent or book deal (yet), but 5/5 of my students who submitted their poems in a contest were chosen to be published. My query stats suck but my students' stats are 100%
A win is a win. 😅🎉
