Carol Munro’s former career was in advertising/marketing, but now she does the really important work of writing for kids. Carol believes kids need our books, not only as a way to understand their own experiences but for sheer pleasure, too. Her focus is on picture books, but she also writes poetry and prose for all ages. Even the big kids we call adults.
As a member of 12 x 12 since its inception in 2012, Carol loves the 12 x 12 community and considers it to be the best thing a picture book writer can do to learn about this ever-changing craft and industry!

In addition to helping in 12 x 12, Carol leads critique groups, offers critique services, volunteers for SCBWI, and has been a judge for Cybils and We Need Diverse Books/Penguin Random House Creative Writing Awards.
