Kay Marner, Freelance Writer

I'm the author of one (so far!)children’s picture book, Dog Tales: The Adventures of Smyles.  Dog Tales was published by Ames Public Library in conjunction with its fantastic early literacy outreach program, Project Smyles. 

I contribute  regularly to Adoptive Families and ADDitude magazines, and enjoy an ongoing gig blogging for ADDitudeMag.com. 

I pursue these and other freelance writing opportunities to legitimize the time I waste communing with my laptop and drinking coffee (Sumatran, with cream) at Stomping Grounds several mornings each week.

I live in Ames, Iowa with my two kids, my (handsome, younger) husband, Don, and our cat, Smokey Joe.    

  I'm a member of SCBWI, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
