We started Ripple Grove Press to bring some really wonderful children's stories to life. Every new author and illustrator that we sign becomes part of a collaborative environment and part of the RGP family.

Lauri Fortino, author of The Peddler's Bed, is the October Featured Author for the children's writing community, 12x12. In her feature she describes her writing life, getting published, and her relationship with us. Read it here.

Also, check out two other recent interviews with Lauri on The Reading Tub and The Family Book Shelf.
