about this author

Hi! I'm the author of Lessons From A Dead Girl and the forthcoming Jumping Off Swings (both with 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!

Thanks for adding me. I'm finally getting a chance to read your book. (I had to return the copy I took out at the library last month because I didn't have time to read it.) I just ordered myself a copy from amazon.com. ;)
