Behind the Books

Notes on Reading and Writing for Young People

Once a month, I send a short, thoughtful newsletter with reflections on writing for young people, the thinking behind particular books, and how stories live in classrooms and libraries.

No promotions. No noise. Just occasional, purposeful writing.
