Noted Childrens Author Kimberly Campbell at CABSE

Last year one of our nations top writers of children's literature, Kimberly Edwina Campbell, moved to Coweta County. And she is faring as well here as she ever has. In 2006 she had an article published in the Writers Digest, and she received two awards in recognition of her literary excellence: the First Place award from the 2006 Sandhills Writers Conference held at Augusta State University and the First Place Award in the Children's Fiction category at the Writer's Digest 73rd Annual Writing Competition. She is a member of The Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI)

Information on her life and her writing accomplishments is available on her website www.kimberlycampbell.net.

There will be an opportunity to meet Campbell and acquire an autographed copy of her two latest books at the Coweta Authors Book Signing Extravaganza (CABSE), which will be held on Saturday September 15 from 10 AM thru 5 PM and Sunday September 16 from 12 Noon thru 5 PM as a special feature of the New Grantville Days Festival on Main Street in Grantville, a small city in southern Coweta County. In January the latest "Chicken Soup" book, to which Campbell has made a contribution, Life Lessons For Busy Moms, was published. And, hot off the press is Campbells's latest book, a biography entitled Richard Peck: A Spellbinding Storyteller, which is the first in a series of biographies she is writring under a contract with Enslow Publishing .
