Author: Keri Demers

Keri lives in Topsfield, MA with her husband, her two young adult daughters, and their adorable (and incorrigible) cockapoo, Dewey. She’s spent the last twenty-five years in elementary education, both as a classroom teacher and currently as a Reading Specialist and Literacy Coach. A handful of picture book and YA drafts are currently camped out rent-free in her Google Drive—quietly loitering while she coaxes them to life, one stubborn page at a time. Teaching grounds her—writing for young people lets her capture the wonder, mess, and magic of growing up. There are four words she hopes to hear one day—blurted out with a healthy dose of disbelief: “Wait… you wrote this?” That’s the dream—and she’s stubborn enough to chase it.
