About Me


I have been writing and drawing since I was old enough to hold a pen. Poetry and art have often competed or attention in my life, and they never really came together in a meaningful way until I was in my mid-forties. 

As a writer, I write picture books, poetry, and verse novels. My first five books are fun, active, rhyming stories, four of which I wrote with my friend, Corey Rosen Schwartz. You can learn all about them here. I hope you will look for them at your local library or book store!

You can also find me now and then in the pages of children’s magazines such as Highlights for Children, Pockets, and Ladybug, and the Fun for Kidz magazines. Or you can do a search here on my site for poetry or rhyme and you'll find some fun stuff that way.

And here are some things about me that have little or nothing directly to do with my writing or art:

My hubby and I doing one of 
my favorite things: hiking in the
woods, in the snow!
I live in Nebraska, where it gets frigid in the winter, and steamy in the summer. And I love it.

I am married to my true love and we have three great kids (yes, I have to say that, but they really are great!), two tiny dogs, and a parrotlet. 

When I'm not writing, I like to read, play games, and do creative stuff like draw, paint, or crochet. I also try to drag my family to the woods for a good hike now and then.

I'd love to hear from you! If you like, you can connect with me through Facebook or Twitter or you can email me at rebgowriter @ gmail dot com.

Thanks!

Rebecca
