Our kids deserve that. And you deserve support and inspiration — and community — as you help them find that excitement. It starts small, but that’s OK, because after all, a few crooked words can be a poem.

About Me
I am a mother, writer, and the founder and director of Frog Hollow School, a children's writing program in the Seattle area, where I have been innovating language arts education for a decade.
I hold an M.S. in Environmental Writing from the University of Montana and a B.A. with Honors in English from Stanford University.
My novel-in-progress Salt For Salt won me the Writers' Lighthouse 2019 Emerging Fiction Fellowship, and my writing has appeared in Orion, Mutha Magazine, Seattle's Child, ParentMap, and elsewhere. I live near Seattle with my daughter, dog, and six peri-menopausal chickens.
