Cindy Faughnan

Welcome!

I write middle grade novels about characters facing big choices. I’m fascinated by people in the background of stories and photographs in the news. Sometimes they’re the ones who witness events and react. Other times they become the ones who try to change the world and make things better.

I also write poetry for children and adults and lots of poetry prompts (scroll down to read some of my poems or try a prompt.)

I completed an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts. I won the PEN New England Children’s Book Caucus Discovery Award and am a member of SCBWI.

When I’m not reading or writing, I work in my garden, find new birds, try a new recipe, knit, or solve puzzles.
