the community connections resource fair

I had an awesome time representing Bookspring this weekend at the Community Connections Resource Fair, sponsored by Austin Energy! The fair featured over one hundred vendors and representatives of businesses and organizations, and showcased local artisans and performers.


With Bookspring, I was able to spread awareness about the importance of child literacy, and educate attendees about Bookspring’s mission. We gifted books to families at the fair and hosted Read-Alouds in English and Spanish. Bookspring had an inviting setup, with plenty of space for families to pick out their new books, and an area for reading. The inflatable chairs were a big hit, and even doubled as a bounce house for the virtuoso—two for one!


Austin Energy estimated a Fair attendance of at least 500 families. I was so honored to connect with so many people, and to play a part in sharing a love of books. ​Reading to the kids and hearing their takes on the story at hand was so much fun, and I’m grateful for their attentiveness (especially the time a small chapter book was selected).


I also had the opportunity to see a beautiful performance by Matachines dancers, and to visit with other vendors, such as Girlstart and Worker’s Defense. The weather was perfect for a family event, and I’m so happy I had the opportunity to be a part of this.

    About me

    I am 15 years old, and started my first novel when I was 9, in response to a lack of smart female protagonists, interesting plots, and high-quality writing in the middle-grade genre. I have published an article in Writer’s Digest, “From YA to YEAH: 4 Ways to Keep Teen & Young Adult Readers Hooked,” and am featured in both The New Yorker and LitHub in cartoons by Bob Eckstein. I'm now working to get my debut fantasy, The Shadow in Her Pocket, published. When I’m not writing, I’m a sophomore in high school and a rock musician.

Thanks for supporting me in my writing! Keep in touch!
