Biography:
Determined to continually develop her writing skills, Anna has taken many classes through UCLA Extension and as a member of SCBWI has attended several Conferences.
Completed manuscripts for editorial consideration include two nominations for the Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award: a chapter book nominated in 2004, and a young adult novel nominated in 2006.
Her first young adult novel, published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers, is scheduled for release in Spring 2011.
Anna writes to promote healing in children, whether it is taming a fear of the dark, confronting the unknown, discovering how to make new friends, or facing a difficult truth.
Anna married musician Mike Shinoda in 2003, and she has no shortage of kids to be inspired by, thanks to her son and nieces and nephews.
Adventures in Asia, Brazil, Australia, Europe, and throughout the United States inspire her stories, as do her pet dogs and animals in her backyard. Mixing her experiences as an adult with her memories of her own childhood, Anna Shinoda has many stories to tell.
