About Vanessa
I am a middle grade and young adult author, represented by Jennifer Mishler and Frances Black of Literary Counsel. I teach high school technology education in rural Virginia and am the slave to one cat, Molly. I spend all my free time writing. I am actively involved in the YA Fiction Fanatics critique group, which is dedicated to helping its members produce the best MG and YA novels they can write.
I’m also a member of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators). When not writing, I’m reading, and an avid movie fan. I also love long walks on the beach discussing Shakespeare while sipping large fruity drinks with little umbrellas.
