Cielle Mooney always has her nose in a book. If it’s not one she’s reading, then it’s one she’s writing.  She reads to her kids, she reads to her grandkids, and sometimes she reads to her cat. She even takes a book along when she’s camping near her home in Colorado, but not when she’s walking her dog, because she might trip.

Cielle’s day job is freelance copyediting. She’s been told that, besides being thorough, she works well with her clients. (She’s not the "grammar police." She prefers to think of herself as a "word gardener.")

As a survivor of childhood abuse, Cielle wants to send children (and grownups) one message: You are worthy; You are precious; You are loveable.
