The Write Sisters are (l
to r) Muriel Dubois, Andrea Murphy,
Kathleen Deady, Janet Buell, Diane Mayr,
Barbara Turner,
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were unpublished, but willing to do the hard work it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.
