Freelance Writer

Welcome!

Deborah Warren Craig writes children's stories and educational materials. She has a Master's Degree in Education and a Bachelor's Degree in English (Writing) from George Mason University. She is a certified teacher and an endorsed Reading Specialist. "I love learning and growing as I write the best stories I possibly can," she says. Her favorite genre to write is picture books, and she likes to write factual, fun articles, too.

During her college years, she was a camp counselor and led kids through a team development and high ropes course. She spent two entire summers as a camp counselor in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. She led camp groups from all over the country as they repaired homes of poverty-stricken or elderly families. Deborah is using her camping experience to help her write a middle grade novel with a main character who goes on a school trip and stays in a "haunted" cabin.

Deborah teaches sixth grade English in Virginia. The thing she now enjoys most is helping kids get excited about reading and writing. Deborah likes to visit the beach or the mountains with her husband and three children whenever there is time for a vacation.
