In case you can’t tell, I love writing about kid lit and libraries! Most of that writing takes the form of reviews (published anonymously in Kirkus, publicly in School Library Journal) or blog posts (published here and at Medal on My Mind). I’m using this page to keep a running list of my writing that appears on other sites or in journals.
