Meet Betsy
Welcome to my virtual studio. As both a writer and designer, I’m driven by a curiosity about the world. In my studio, I take that curiosity and use it to create new worlds. I write for kids and adults as well as a good deal of freelance non-fiction. Explore to find out more about me, my books, and my thoughts on writing as well as the thoughts of friends who stop by the studio. If you’ve got something you’d like to share reach out to me through the contact form. I’d love to hear from you. Scroll down to read what’s been happening in the studio.
A Dialogue-phobes Guide to Writing Believable Dialogue

Have no fear though, there are solutions. Even I, a queen dialogue-phobe, have found ways to work through dialogue blocks and get my hands moving across the page again . . .
