In spite of the adage to write what you know, Anne Marie Pace has never been a vampire, a ballerina, a groundhog, or a tow truck driver. She is a picture book author whose latest book is MOUSE CALLS, illustrated by Erin Kraan, from Beach Lane Books (Simon & Schuster). Other books include GROUNDHUG DAY (Little, Brown), BUSY-EYED DAY (Beach Lane Books), SUNNY’S TOW TRUCK SAVES THE DAY (Abrams) and the four books of the VAMPIRINA BALLERINA series (Disney-Hyperion), which were adapted into the hit Disney Junior animated series VAMPIRINA. She lives in Virginia and loves frequent visits from her young adult children.
“The faculty, Sudipta [Bardhan-Quallen] & Anne Marie [Pace] were fantastic. It was wonderful to receive direction from such established and prolific writers. They brought a great deal of enthusiasm to their presentations.”
“The tools Sudipta [Bardhan-Quallen] and Anne Marie have given me are priceless. I also appreciate the encouragement. I’m going to keep working and trying. Thank you so much!”
