Cynthea Liu on a rooftop in Xi'an, China
THE SORTA SHORT BIO
Cynthea spent her formative years in Oklahoma and Texas where she was a Whiz Quiz member, an Academic Decathloner, and a spelling bee champion. (Yes, she was very popular.) After attending college on the East coast, she worked at a corporate job where she mastered PowerPoint and racked up thousands of frequent flyer miles. Eventually, she traded in her suit for sweats to do the fun stuff–writing for children.
Her middle-grade novel PARIS PAN TAKES THE DARE with G.P. Putnam’s Sons, and her YA novel THE GREAT CALL OF CHINA for Puffin’s S.A.S.S. series are forthcoming in Spring and Summer ‘09. A third novel is set to be released in 2010.
Cynthea’s WRITING FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS: A CRASH COURSE (how to write, revise, and publish your kid’s or teen book with children’s book publishers) is available in paperback. (ISBN: 9781605301143 LCCN: 2007942880). You can also get it in the UK!
