Interview with Non-Fiction Author Mary Kay Carson

5/17/2016

I met Mary Kay Carson in the Southwest Ohio chapter of SCBWI where we are members. The group meets monthly to discuss writing topics, host guest speakers, critique each other's work, and help each other out in general by providing support and answering questions. Mary Kay is a great resource within the group as a non-fiction science writer, especially to me, who is trying to get my own science non-fiction books published. I read her latest book, Inside Biosphere 2: Earth Science Under Glass, last year while serving on the Sibert committee.

I am a writer of Children's and Young Adult books. I received my MFA in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, and am an active member of SCBWI. I also have my MLS in Library Science with an emphasis on children and happily worked as a Children's Librarian for nearly 20 years. One of my favorite activities was reading books aloud to kids, especially to school-aged kids. Like the kids, I enjoy having stories read to me, so I listen to many of my books on audio and serve on audio judging committees.
Another favorite activity is creating fun snacks for library programs, friends, and family. I do that a lot and continually search for more ideas.
I have a very large Russian Blue mix cat named Bosley from the shelter, and a rescue dog named Prince Albert. He's a Cavapoo, which means he's part Cavalier King Charles and part poodle, and adorable. I am married and live in Dayton, Ohio with my husband Rod.
