  <about><![CDATA[Hi! I'm the author of &lt;i&gt;Lessons From A Dead Girl&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Jumping Off Swings&lt;/i&gt; (Candlewick Press).

If you are an aspiring author, please check out my web site (www.joknowles.com) for tips on starting and running a writing group, writing resources, and weekly writing prompts for inspiration.

Best of luck!


p.s.
The books I've listed on my Goodreads list are mainly children's and Young Adult books, with a few adult books mixed in. These are books I've enjoyed in one way or another and would recommend to other writers. I've given them all 5 stars. If you are an author, you know why. ;-)  Happy reading and writing!]]></about>
