SCBWI Iowa: It's No Small Arc with Michele McAvoy, The Little Press

Michele McAvoy is a multi-award-winning children’s book author, publisher, attorney, and educator from New Jersey. While Michele wears many hats, they all point towards a single goal, bring entertaining and meaningful stories to kids. As a child, Michele read Judy Blume and drew Garfield comics. For her 10th birthday, she asked for a pink typewriter. Michele always loved the smell of new books. Now all grown-up (typewriters near obsolete) she loves bringing joy to children through her own stories. Michele’s published titles include Willa the Werewolf, Buckingham Gets A New Shell, Cookie & Milk, and Toby Undone. Michele is represented by Dan Cramer at Page Turner Literary Agency.

The Little Press is a traditional publisher bringing new talent and new voices to children’s literature. Our books offer windows, mirrors, doors, escape hatches, trampolines & bungee cords because life, even for the young, is full of twists & turns.
