Sheena Boekweg grew up reading books with tree branches peeking over her shoulder. Her novels Glitch Kingdom and A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions, both with Feiwel and Friends/Macmillan, feature fat positive girls with ambitions, love stories, and sometimes battle axes. She's a contributor to Every Body Shines, a fat-positive anthology publishing May 2021 with Bloomsbury, and is an alumni of the 2015 Pitch Wars Program and was a Pitch Wars mentor in 2017, 2018, and currently in 2020. Sheena believes that beauty is intrinsic and worth is unquestionable, and thinks you can't solve all problems with food, but it will always help.
She is well loved by a tall man with a great beard, her three kids, and the world's most spoiled puppy. Visit her o

Quotes by Sheena Boekweg  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It makes me wonder, really, how much of women’s influence has been ignored by history. I believe we need to celebrate women, in all the different ways they’re made.”
Sheena Boekweg, A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions

“It’s making criminals richer, and the wealthy still keep getting drunk anyhow. It’s not a law if it’s only illegal for the poor. It’s a wealth tax. And why shouldn’t the poor have something to dim the pain of being poor?” I couldn’t”
Sheena Boekweg, A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions

“No, it’s not jealousy. There is a status quo, Elsie. The men rule their businesses, and the women rule their houses. And as the future wives of powerful men we need to reflect that.”
Sheena Boekweg, A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“I should have learned this, she thought. I wanted to learn fire, and pain, but I should have learned people.”
Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight

“My darling," she said at last, are you sure you don't mind being a mouse for the rest of your life?"
"I don't mind at all" I said.
It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you.”
Roald Dahl, The Witches

“Witches are naturally nosy,” said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.”
“Will it cost me anything?”
“What? I just said it was free!” said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,” said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?”
“Yes,” said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...”
“Yes?”
“...and believe in your dreams...”
“Yes?”
“...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on.
“Yes?”
“...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
