About Me
I am thrilled to report that my novel BREATHE/PICTURES OF YOU/TITLE TO COME will be published by Algonquin Books in August 2010. I'm the award winning author of eight novels, most recently Girls in Trouble, which was a Booksense Selection and is now in its third printing. I'm the recipient of a New York Foundation of the Arts Grant in Fiction and portions of my novel in progress won a Goldenberg Fiction Prize. I was a finalist in the Nickelodeon Screenwriting Fellowship, a semi-finalist in the Fade In/Writers' Net Screenwriting Competition, and a National Magazine Award nominee. Four of my novels were optioned for screen, and I talked my way into writing the script for two of them. I'm a book critic for The Boston Globe, People Magazine, and a brand new magazine called Dame. I teach novel writing for UCLA, do private writing mentoring, and I am a professional namer! I live with my husband and son. Visit me at http://www.carolineleavitt.com.
