Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a small town just outside of New York City where her love of the arts was fostered from an early age. When she’s not reading or writing young adult novels, she can be found roaming city streets armed with her favorite journal, drinking entirely too much green tea, or in her kitchen where she’s a crazy foodie at heart. She currently splits her time between New York and Knoxville.
Her writing is represented by Barbara Poelle of the Irene Goodman Literary Agency.
Favorite non-writing things: I believe tomatoes, avocados, vinyl records, handwritten letters, and my 1950s Smith-Corona typewriter are the best things on the planet. EVER. My favorite quote of all time is: “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club” by Jack London.
Don’t be a stranger, I love meeting fellow writers/readers/friends, and even the occasional internet lurker.

Hello twitter friend. I’m loving your blog. I am a fellow writer who understands everything involved from marketing the manuscript to willing publishers to marketing the finished product once it is finally published. It’s a lot of work, but well worth every effort. I have a wordpress blog as well. I also have a blogspot blog which has articles about deeper issues. And, then, I also have a website. Some many places to write, and sometimes so little time.
Hello twitter friend! I’m so glad you stopped by the blog. You are one busy writer with the wordpress, blogspot AND website.
It’s definitely an exercise in multi-tasking/sanity keeping up with social media/marketing/life oh-and of course writing/re-writing/editing and reading. Phew I’m exhausted just listing it all out
Keep up the amazing work and let me know if you’d be interested in doing a guest post. I’m always looking for writers who would like to share how they manage it all.
i think i love you
I think that’s kind of sweet you creepy lil’ nugget.
This is a lovely place, Kerri.
I like hanging around here.
And I love the quote by Jack London, too!
