Austin SCBWI

Jo Whittemore started her writing career as a toddler, dragging a crayon across the living room wall. She has since switched to pen and paper and is now the author of three published fantasy novels: Escape from Arylon, Curse of Arastold, and Onaj’s Horn. Her fourth novel, Front Page Face-Off (Mean Girls + the school paper), was released March 2010.
Jo has been a member of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) since 2003 and is one of the founding members of AS IF! (Authors Supporting Intellectual Freedom).
She has been featured in national magazines and various newspapers and loves all things chocolate, most things sparkly and nothing that involves the words “mayonnaise” or “back hair”.
