THE PAGE BEHIND

"At night, the darkest bits of sky fell over Wandhaven as droplets of ink. The black bits formed and crisped into letters and punctuation marks on their way down and landed in huge storage bins at the Grammar Warehouse, where they waited in a tangled pile until they were raked out and sorted. Annora always wondered how the typography staff knew whether a b was actually a b or really a d. What happened if they got it wrong? She liked to imagine that somewhere there was a lucky bog that ended up being written as a dog."

Award-Winning: Golden Pen finalist at 2024 Letters and Lines, SCBWI Rocky Mountain Chapter annual conference

​

Work in progress! This middle grade fantasy manuscript gained me entry to the 2024 Michelle Begley Mentorship program of the SCBWI Rocky Mountain Chapter. I've put this manuscript through a developmental edit with my friends at Ground Crew Editorial and it is now in revision. If everything goes well, I will begin my quest for an agent in 2025. For fans of THE BOOKWANDERERS and INKHEART.​​​
