| Robyn Hood Black (yes, that’s her real name) is the author WOLVES, a nonfiction, interactive book to be released by Dalmatian Press/Intervisual Books in Fall 2008, and Sir Mike, a Rookie Reader from Scholastic’s Children’s Press. Her poetry has been accepted for future publication in Spider and Hopscotch, and her fiction has been bought by Highlights. In addition to writing and drawing, Robyn loves to visit young readers in schools. She also enjoys learning and sharing about all-things-kids-books through the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). A cum laude graduate of Furman University with a degree in English, Robyn’s work history includes newspaper and magazine writing, drawing, waiting tables, working in an art gallery, helping to run a therapeutic horsemanship program, and some boring office jobs. She also taught middle school English for two years. Robyn lives in the foothills of northeast Georgia with her husband, two teenagers, and an assortment of dogs and cats. She is a grateful, active member in the Southern Breeze region of SCBWI and is the Spring Conference Coordinator (2007, 2008, and 2009). Her buddies in Book Bound Writers and Illustrators Group provide great feedback, support, and really yummy snacks. A new children’s illustrators critique group also provides support and inspiration.
