    The Write Sisters are (back, l to r) Muriel Dubois, Barbara Turner, 
     Kathleen Deady, and Andrea Murphy, (front, l to r) Diane Mayr, 
     Janet Buell and Sally Wilkins.

          We are seven women related only through our shared passion -- 
     writing for kids.  We first got together as a critique group in 1988.
     Back then, we were unpublished, but willing to do the hard work it
     takes to succeed. Some of us held full time jobs, and wrote after
     work or on lunch breaks.  Some of us were toting around little
     kids -- trying to write a few lines between naps (theirs, not ours).
     We persisted.

    Through those early years until now, with over 100 children's books
     to our collective credit, we have stayed together and grown stronger
     through our commitment to the craft -- and to our friendship.

    In 2007, almost twenty years after we started, we realized that our
     age (ahem . . .) and experience (yay!) made us the perfect emissaries.
     We took the name The Write Sisters, and are energized by our 
     mission: to reveal, unravel, and introduce the world of children's
     writing to an inquiring public. 

     We hope you enjoy poking around our website.
