Invite your friends to read my newsletter!

and get a guide for aspiring writers, a video of fun facts about my book for kids, or a Zoom writing consultation or classroom Q&A with me.

Thank you for reading my newsletter! My books reach kids through parents, teachers, librarians, and booksellers. Your personal recommendation helps young readers discover my work, and means the world to me.

Substack has added a new feature where readers get rewards for sharing newsletters with their friends. I couldn’t quite decide how I felt about this feature, but since the whole purpose of this newsletter is to shine a light on my books, I decided that I actually like the idea of being able to thank you for sharing this newsletter with other readers. Here’s how to participate:

1. Share this newsletter . When you use the referral link below, or the “Share” button on any post, you'll get credit for any new subscribers. Simply send the link in a text, email, or share it on social media with friends.

2. Earn benefits. When more friends use your referral link to subscribe, you’ll receive special benefits.

• 1 referral: PDF workbook for aspiring children’s authors

• 5 referrals: a pre-recorded video for your classroom or favorite kid with a fun fact about my books

• 25 referrals: a Zoom consultation (for writers) or a Zoom Q&A for your classroom (for educators and parents)

THANK YOU! I depend on teachers, librarians, parents, and other caring grown-ups that help children find my books. I am so grateful to you for sharing my work!
