Children’s Book Writer, Journalist, Editor, Book Reviewer.
Thanks for stopping by! My debut picture book, A Breath Between Leaves, releases in Fall 2027 from Groundwood Books and is illustrated by the phenomenal Josée Bisaillon. I’m represented by Rosa Frazier at The Seymour Agency. I enjoy writing children’s books about disability, nature, and finding hope.
I live in Nashville, TN with my spouse and daughter and heaps of books. I write the City Cast Nashville newsletter, where I report on the latest news around the city. I review children’s books for Book Riot, Chapter 16, and on my bookstagram account, @KidLitMatters. My articles have also appeared in BuzzFeed News, School Library Journal, Parents, StarTrek.com, The Lily, and more. I won a Cheekwood poetry prize in 2025, and my short stories and poems have been published in Pulp Literature, Abyss & Apex, Dream Forge, and other publications. You can follow me on Instagram and Bluesky. I’m a member of 12×12.
