My PitchWars Bio

It's my first year participating in PitchWars and I'm super excited to...

Wait, what? I have to write a bio? And it has to be clever and make me sound awesome and all accomplished and stuff?

I never signed up for this!

 



No, okay. I can do this. So here's a little bit about me.

I started writing in grade two. Title of my first masterpiece: Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Bloody Mary.

Yeah, I don't know why I wrote that either, Simon

 

I didn't really take writing seriously until after I had four kids. Because, yanno, suddenly it seemed like the right time.

My kids, every time I sit down at the computer

 

I've been at this for five years. Sometimes it sucks.

 

Most of the time it's awesome.

 

I'm Canadian, eh!

 

I collect t-shirts. Like this one:

 

Even though I'm thirty-cough-cough, I still like boy bands. Don't judge me.

 

I sing loud and badly but play the piano better. I used to take dance (jazz, tap, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, swing) and I often dredge up old dance moves in my kitchen, bathroom, while driving, cleaning, ANYWHERE ANYTIME.

I think I look like this.

Or this.

Or this.

But I probably look more like this.

 

I don't like to be touched. So please don't hug me. Unless it's virtual. Those I can handle.

 

I'm a bit of a genre whore. I've written YA time-travel, YA magical realism, and Adult romance/retelling. My PitchWars manuscript is YA Urban Fantasy. It's a loose retelling of Eponine, the character from Les Miserables (in case you didn't know).

 

So there's a little bit about me. Now we're besties and you can pick me as your mentee- I'll do anything you say. Just, no hugging.

I mean pick me. PICK ME.
