About Me
- Kristin Tubb
- I am the author of "Selling Hope," a middle grade historical fiction novel set in 1910 Chicago on the vaudeville circuit, and "Autumn Winifred Oliver Does Things Different," an historical fiction account of the beginnings of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park through the eyes of 11-year-old Autumn. AND: Coming Fall of 2012: Ophiuchus et al in "The 13th Sign." I never met a writing genre I didn't like. Some may call it a lack of focus; I prefer to think of it as a lust for life. I adore "kid lit," though, because I think it's the most honest writing out there. My writing gigs have included a lot of licensed character books: Scooby-Doo (Ruh-roh!), Strawberry Shortcake (Berry cool!), Bugs Bunny (Ain't I a stinker?), the PowerPuff Girls (Game over!) and next year, the new Holly Hobbie & Friends (Hey, girl!) But enough about me...

Kristin, I read your interview. It was great!
Hey Kristin! I really like what you have to say about the "writing rules", about how there is no real "set way" to go about writing. It can get overwhelming sometimes, because I read all kinds of stuff about how many words I should be outputting a day, how I should be writing at the same time every morning, and on and on and on, like if I don't do those things my writing will come out looking and sounding like chicken-scratch. I very much appreciate your approach to the craft, and I plan on picking up your new book soon!
Hi, Mitch! I absolutely hear ya - there is so much out there about "how to write" that we sometimes forget that *we* own our stories! I still have to remind myself of that, when I'm putting too much pressure on myself to produce, produce, produce. When I do, the writing falls flat. For me, at least. :-) Guess I'm a "small steps" kind of gal!
Thanks for visiting! And I hope you enjoy the book! ;-)
