Marcy Campbell
Welcome
You've found the website of author Marcy Campbell. Thanks for visiting. Go ahead and click around, see what I'm up to. If you want more on my wheelings and dealings, follow me into my closet, where I blog as:
The Closet Creative (www.marcycampbell.blogspot.com).
I'm thrilled to announce that my debut picture book, "Adrian Simcox Does Not Have a Horse" was sold at auction to Penguin/Dial Books for Young Readers! Illustrator and publication date TBA.
I wrote Adrian while on a break from revising my adult literary novel, "Happy, Indiana," which I've been working on for years. I had not "studied" how to write children's books, but I have read a lot of picture books, as a parent. As a writer, I can't help but read them with an eye toward what works and what doesn't. I think it was inevitable that eventually I'd try my hand at one.
I am still hoping to find a home for "Happy, Indiana," but you can expect me to keep writing children's books as well. As I fully immerse myself into the world of children's publishing, I'm loving everything about it. It makes me happy to know that I might play some small part in helping kids learn to have empathy and treat others, especially those who might be different from them, with kindness.
In between books, I continue to enjoy writing essays. My latest, on the heredity of creativity, is published in Salon.
