Writing children’s books for the educational market has taken me in some unexpected directions 😮📚💻 and given me plenty to share about researching, working with editors, and turning around revisions before a deadline. In my new article for Writers’ Rumpus, I’m sharing a peek at this part of my writing life. ✨Curious about trying it yourself?
