About Me

About me: GirlChild Press publishes the work of girls and women who know what it means to soar. We are looking for work that is passionate, authentic, and well written. Not interested in "I'm the #1 Princess of My Pimp" or anything along those lines. You know what I'm talking about:) The Press' first book, Growing Up Girl: An Anthology of Voices from Marginalized Spaces has been wildly successful. The second anthology Just Like A Girl: A Manifesta! will be released August 2008 . Just Like A Girl is a rough and tumble, sassy, kick-ass travelogue through the the bumpy, powerful, action-packed world of GIRL. A world where women and girls know how to pick themselves up and brush themselves off. These are the brave girls. The clever girls. The funny girls. The girls who know there is no sin in being born one. Check out the blog and catch up on all the happenings.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bookstores, book groups, group homes, shelters, detention centers, alternative schools, churches, and sister circles that are interested in booking readings and discussion groups. Check Out GirlChild Press
