I’m Helen Pyne, an author, editor and writing coach. With an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts, I write middle grade and young adult fiction and teach writing workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’m also a wife and mother of four, and my favorite adventures involve traveling with my family. I’m a huge fan of travel because it changes our perspective, just like a good book, by helping us see the world through new eyes. Travel can take us out of our comfort zone, push us to do things we didn’t think we could, and frees us up to ask questions and pay close attention to the world around us. (All skills every good author should have.)
