Hi, I'm Melissa A. Delavida

I am a children's writer working towards my first book deal. As such, I continually research the latest trends and consult the most recent reference books to enhance my craft. I am also an avid reader of children's books. Not only do I read them to stay up-to-date with the market, but I also simply love them. I love being drawn into the worlds they create and watching the experiences unfold before my eyes. There's something special about children's books that adult fiction often lacks. For me, it's the innocence, the imagination, the fantastical, and I love getting my hands on whatever is out there, old or new.
