Kim Culbertson

Kim Culbertson is the award-winning author of five YA novels with Sourcebooks and Scholastic as well as the author of the Heinemann book 100-Word Stories: A Short Form for Expansive Writing. She has been teaching high school since 1997 and somehow still adores teenagers but that’s probably because she spends as much time traveling and hiking in Tahoe as possible. Other People’s Kids is her first novel for adults.
