And each of those job experiences came with their own set of stories and memories. I don’t know that my previous jobs fueled my desire to write, but they allowed me to explore certain loves: spending time in nature, working with children, and discovering both the hope and challenges that exist in the world.

Prior to starting your first novel, you were employed at a nonprofit foundation, a preschool, a dude ranch, and a US National Forest project. Winners must live in the United States or Canada.

In exchange for an honest interview and review, Jessica sent me a copy of The Actual & Truthful Adventure of Becky Thatcher. While some of the elements of Mark Twain’s notable stories are included, Jessica’s version will certainly appeal to middle level readers who are looking for more spirited female characters. Jessica used her creative energies to craft a new image of Becky Thatcher set in a slightly earlier time. Jessica Lawson rode the waves of rejection letters and eventually signed a contract with Simon & Schuster.
Today, I am thrilled to introduce a debut middle grade novelist who actively pursued her dream to be traditionally published. First-time authors face many challenges in the competitive writing and publishing world.
