About Me

Kim Tomsic: I’m a reader, writer, dreamer, believer, and lover of peanut M-n-Ms. My publishing heroes including Richard Peck, Bryan Collier, Ingrid Law, Meg Medina, Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Nicola Yoon, Laurie Halse Anderson, Christina Soontornvat, and others! I love pretty shoes but can usually be found in flip-flops, since I moonlight as a yoga teacher—I've always dreamed of walking in my hero’s flipflops, so I got busy— I wrote a manuscript, joined the SCBWI, joined critiquing groups, edited, read blogs + books on plot, character and structure, attended conferences, hosted schmoozes, subscribed to Writers Digest (and won a contest!), wrote articles, and studied craft. Five years later, I found my agent, Jen Rofé of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency and landed contracts! That’s why I’m a believer—dreams do come true! My debut book, The 11:11 Wish released February, 2018 from Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. April, 2019 my debut nonfiction picture book, GUITAR GENIUS (illustrated by Brett Helquist), released with Chronicle Books. The 12th Candle released in October, 2019, and The Elephants Come Home will be on bookshelves in 2021 (illustrated by Hadley Hooper).
