About

Currently looking for representation for picture books and memoir.

A western (and West Coast) sensibility.

Kristen is best known professionally for her strategy and content oversight at multiple boutique advertising agencies. But—like many copywriters—she’s also always working on side projects, including picture books (which she fell in love with when her children were small) and memoir.

Kristen has lived everywhere from small-town Colorado to Seattle to Austin to California (both Northern and Southern) to New Mexico to Maui—all of which have influenced her work. An avid backpacker, surfer, snowboarder and photographer, she and her husband and 6th-grade twins currently split their time between Steamboat Springs, Colorado (“Ski Town USA”) and Taos, New Mexico.
