*Already tired of the 21st century

I have written more than 25 books of my own including the YA novel Life as I Knew It (Simon & Schuster). My essays written with a partner appeared in the New York Times Book Review, Punch and Spy magazines. P3, an environmental magazine for kids I created with a partner, won the Giraffe Award and empowered children to speak up on behalf of their home planet. Three subsequent books I wrote were universally praised for their beautiful writing but deemed "unmarketable" by many an agent. My most recent book, called "exceptional" by at least one fairly prominent literary figure, is shaping up to be my most unmarketable book yet. For three years, I was the resolutions copy editor for the state of Vermont, a job that seriously damaged my relationship with the comma.
