Hi, I'm Phoebe Kitanidis, a writer who lives in Seattle. My teen novel WHISPER will be available from Harper Collins Spring 2010.
More about me: I live with the love of my life (known around these parts as
jrpseudonym), and a big beautiful grey cat named Myst. Surrounded by about a trillion books, games, gaming books, and other signs of hardcore nerd-dom.
My pet peeves are when people don't stand up for themselves, and geek social fallacies. And by the way, I have often been guilty of my own pet peeves!
On the Meyers-Briggs, I pretty much always score I/ENFJ. I'm not an introvert or an extrovert, I'm an ambivert.
My #1 passion is Communication. I studied it formally, earning a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley and a Masters from San Jose State University. I love speaking on interpersonal communication issues. As a former writing and Language Arts teacher, I also feel very comfortable talking to a classroom full of kids about books and writing.
In addition to WHISPER, I'm the author of the Discovery Girls book FAB GIRLS GUIDE TO FRIENDSHIP HARDSHIP as well as dozens of articles for tweens, teens, and parents. Represented by Dystel and Goderich Literary Management. Member of SCBWII, Broad Universe, and 10_ers.
My second teen novel will be out from Harper Collins in 2011.
You can also find me on Facebook, Goodreads, and (very soon) on my website too.
