NEW RELEASE! Cake Literary presents TINY PRETTY THINGS
The New School MFA in Creative Writing Program , my alma mater, has cultivated a cadre of talented children's writers who have stopped at nothing to be leaders in the genre of young adult and middle grade fiction. Within this list of talented and prolific children's writers who are alums of the New School Writing for Children program include: Tonya Hegamin, Jenny Han, Caela Carter, Coe Booth and now Cake Literary founders Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton (class of 2012). I met both Sona and Dhonielle at The New School during a children's literature workshop we took with YA author and Scholastic editor, David Levithan. Sona and Dhonielle have done much to bring issues in children's publishing to the forefront in recent years, particularly within the We Need Diverse Books movement. The duo is now set to release their first project, a young adult novel TINY PRETTY THINGS, after founding CAKE Literary , a literary development company.
