Hi. I’m Cory.

I write books that don’t blame people for being human.

I try and write in ways that are serious and funny, and center justice, kindness, and respect. My books tell multiple truths, include more of us, and more parts of us than I see in most books for young people.

I trust the brilliance of young people and believe curiosity should be encouraged, not feared. I help caring adults with conversations that make them anxious. 

“Here is that rare voice that can talk about the hardest things kids go through in ways that are thoughtful, lighthearted and always respectful of their intelligence.”
