Stacy V. Wells
Choctaw
☨
Where there are Native creators there is power. A couple of years ago I attended Turtle Island at LoonSong—a writing retreat for kidlit Native writers. The retreat offered a safe space for discussions, craft panels, one-on-one time with publishing professionals, but most importantly created a community of like-minded Native writers who share a passion for writing authentic stories for our youth. The magic of that time still lives within me. Pushing me to do better, be better.
About
As a young child, Stacy loved spending time with one of her many cousins playing games and, telling stories at family get-togethers. She is all grown up now, but she hasn’t lost her spirit for stories (or for her cousins). She spends her days as a youth librarian reading books at storytime or finding the ‘just right book’ for young readers. By night, she writes stories that capture the joy and wonder of childhood. Her books center around her Choctaw heritage and are written for all to enjoy. Stacy lives in Texas with her family, including her red dog named Blu and a playful ferret that goes by Stan.
