edit data

I read, I write, I teach. I've published short stories in Cicada, YA Review Network, Solstice Literary Magazine, and Soundings Review. In 2016, Clarion Books released my YA dystopian fantasy MARKED, which Kirkus Books called "an original, textured page-turner." My other fantasy novels are WATER SHAPER and ALIA WAKING (both published by Clarion Books). For more information, it's best to visit my website: http://www.laurawilliamsmccaffrey.com ...more

I don't always find the act of writing easy. I throw away a lot of what I write. Still, I love my mechanical pencils and my lined white paper. I love putting words on pages, the way the words accumulate and grow into characters.

And I love talking with other writers, about the books we're reading, about the stories we're writing, about the pitfalls of working in a home office and wearing pajamas too often.(less)
