Margaret Nevinski
Hello! I'm a children's book author and I teach writing workshops for kids, teens, and adults. I live on Bainbridge Island, Washington. Check out my website to find out more about me, my writing, and my classes. "Yellow Pencils" doesn't take comments, but you can contact me here. I love to share ideas, prompts, and story starters that spark our imaginations. Each week (usually Monday or Tuesday) I post a new writing topic, so get your yellow pencil and have fun writing stories and poems at home!
