I'm the owner & founder of Journey to Kidlit, the online resource that teaches thousands of aspiring children's book writers from over 35 countries around the world about how to write and publish a children's book based on my own award-winning writing journey. I'm also the owner of BiblioKid Publishing, an American hybrid publishing house that specializes in producing quality books for kids.

Named a 2023 Top Writing Coach by Coach Foundation, I've helped over 50 titles go on to receive 5-star reviews from children's book professional sites like Reader's Favorite, Reader's Choice, and Mom's Choice. I'm also an award-winning picture book author, whose book received the 2020 Distinguished Favorite Preschool Picture Book.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending my time with my three leading men: my husband, Mitch, our son, Quill, and our golden retriever, Brandon.
