Kim Culbertson technically writes for teenagers, but there
are some grown-ups who like her work. Her first novel, Songs
for a Teenage Nomad, won the 2008 Ben Franklin
Award for Best New Voice in Children's/Young Adult Fiction,
the silver 2008 IPPY medal for YA fiction, and several other
awards. Kim has also written short fiction for print and online
venues including Cicada, Canary, and The Smoking Poet. At our
CWC Marin meeting, Kim will discuss pitching a book to a small
press and then making connections through schools, libraries,
awards, and online communities to promote a small press title.
