Help for Writers who are Parents and Parents who are Writers

In 2016, I was picking my kids up from art camp when I received a phone call from a New York phone number. Since this was the summer of 2016 (and the election had not yet happened) I was just still a naive, optimistic person. I answered the phone.

It turns out I had won a fellowship from Pen Parentis. It was an incredible feeling.

In 2021, Pen Parentis is once again giving me incredible feelings. I’m reading and speaking at their opening salon featuring middle grade writers on September 14, 2021!!! That’s my birthday!!!

I hope you join us!
