Janet Fox

Hi there! I'm an award-winning author with 12 traditionally-published books, from picture books through young adult novels. When I started writing for children I had few places to turn to for help and guidance. I struggled through workshops and craft books and rejection. That's why I now wish to help writers like you.

I'm proud to have guided dozens of writers from rough draft to publication, and taught numerous online courses from beginner-level to advanced.

I look forward to seeing your books in the hands of happy readers!
