Cynthea Liu on a rooftop in Xi'an, China
If you would like Cynthea to consider your school or library for an author visit, please join my Educator email list.
Cynthea Liu spent most of her formative years in Oklahoma and Texas where she was a member of the Whiz Quiz team, an academic decathlon-er, and a spelling bee champion. Yes, she was very popular.
After attending college on the East Coast, she landed a job as a management consultant. When she had enough of PowerPoint and frequent flyer miles, she traded in her suit for sweats to focus on the fun stuff–writing for children.
Cynthea is represented by the Andrea Brown Literary Agency, and she is managed by her pet rabbit Snoop. Ms. Liu’s works include contemporary picture books, easy readers, chapter books, middle grade, and YA novels. She loves to write about spunky characters in humorous situations.
Her middle-grade novel PARIS PAN TAKES THE DARE with G.P. Putnam’s Sons, and her YA novel THE GREAT CALL OF CHINA for Puffin’s S.A.S.S. series are forthcoming in Spring and Summer ‘09. A third novel is set to be released in 2011.
Cynthea’s WRITING FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS: A CRASH COURSE
She is a contributor to THE NEW WRITER�S HANDBOOK, Volume 2, A Practical Anthology of Best Advice for Your Craft and Career, edited by Philip Martin.
