Nadia Salomon

Nadia Salomon is the author of two forthcoming picture books. MYRLIE: A VOICE OF HOPE, a non-fiction biography of civil rights activist, Myrlie Evers Williams. This title won the 2019 SCBWI Work of Outstanding Progress Award.  And she has a yet to be announced title due out in 2024. Her debut, GOODNIGHT GANESHA, is a Bank Street Best and ALSC DIA Selection for 2022. She works closely with 12×12 Challenge, SCBWI, the Desi Kid Lit Community, and Storyteller Academy. Nadia is an award-winning journalist and holds a journalism degree from Emerson College. When not participating in her own goodnight rituals or spinning silly yarns… you’ll find her on the 12×12 forum answering questions or trying to help authors with their craft. Nadia says 12×12 has been an extremely helpful tool in her authorship journey and enjoys being a part of this supportive community.
