ABOUT REBECCA

I am a children’s author/illustrator currently seeking representation. I actively participate in the kidlit community, my regional chapter of the SCBWI (East PA), and in my poetry and PB critique groups.

I adore words and the way just the right word can elicit a giggle or summon a prayer. My writing is sometimes silly, sometimes reverent, but always a reflection of my lifelong love of nature, classic literature, and poetry.

I was raised in south Georgia, on the edge of the Altamaha River swamp, surrounded by soaring pines, flowering azaleas, and ancient balding cypress. While my brother and sister spent their days outdoors, I could very reliably be found in my room amidst a clutter of books, drawing paper, and the Comics section of our local small-town newspaper. The raw beauty of my surroundings wasn't lost on me, however. It found its way, again and again, onto the pages of my sketchbooks and journals. It stays with me still, informing my writing, guiding my brush, and whispering to me in the collective voice of a thousand cicadas on a balmy summer night.
