What I’m Excited About…
One of the things I love most is helping other authors shape and mold their stories. Especially picture book authors! If writing a picture book is on your bucket list, I hope you’ll check out the new Critiques page on my website and let me know if I can help! I’d love to help you take the next step towards publication.
