edit data

Barbara Gregorich grew up playing baseball and reading mysteries. As a result, SHE'S ON FIRST (Contemporary, 1987) was a baseball novel and DIRTY PROOF (Pageant, 1988) a mystery. But just in case the pitcher thinks he knows what Barbara will do when she stands on base, she enjoys unsettling him by writing nonfiction as well as fiction . . children's books as well as adult books . . . poetry, too.

In addition to baseball, Barbara has long been part of movements supporting economic and political justice for all. Her first YA novel, THE F WORDS, which will be published by City of Light Publishing on September 1, 2021, centers on high school teens fighting for justice and equality.

My Writing Life: 10

The 2010s were a new and very different time for me as a writer, in three important ways.

First, I dipped my toes into the world of self-publishing . . . and then I jumped into the enterprise head-first. Because I’ve blogged about most of my self-published books before, I won’t dwell on them. But I will quickly recap the ones I published in the period 2010-2015.
