Kimberly Morris is the author of 60 books for children and young adults, many of them for popular series including Disney Fairies, That’s So Raven, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Animorphs, Sweet Valley, and Generation Girl. Her credits include read-aloud stories for the Muppets, Muppet Babies, and Fraggle Rock, and animated television scripts for the classic ThunderCats.

Her motivational writing workshops for students K-12 and adults give participants a taste of what it’s really like to work in publishing and television. They’re fast, furious, and highly collaborative. Her workshops are not just about creative writing; they are about higher-level critical thinking skills, creative problem solving, and team building.

As a keynote speaker, her views on writing as an art, writing as a skill, and writing as a business are wry, witty, pragmatic and - she hopes - useful to parents, teachers, corporate audiences and those who have taken up the pen themselves.

Kimberly Morris is also the Director of Project Development for Publishing Matters, a Houston-based custom publishing company, producing content for corporations, schools, and nonprofits.
