Hello & Welcome
I am Sharon Frances, an author, poet, educator and presenter. I write from personal experience with a twist of magical realism, raw emotion, adventure, and a passion for inclusion and social justice. The characters living in my brain are girls and LGBTQ+ kids coming of age, learning to empower themselves through difficult times.
I am a member of the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and Authors Against Book Bans.
