Hi! I’m Hailey.

I live on a small island off the Washington coast with my family and a most unruly garden. When I’m not writing and illustrating stories for children, you can find me out picking gooseberries, building forts with my son, and searching for four-leaf clovers. 

I guess all those clovers really are lucky, because I’m now represented by Kaitlyn Sanchez, of Bradford Literary!

I have a degree in fine art and creative writing which included studying under the celebrated poets Ben Lerner and Michael McClure, as well as painting, printmaking, sculpture and drawing.

SOME FACTS ABOUT ME:

  1. As a kid I had: a pet marigold that I rescued from a snowstorm, a pet rat that rode around in my pocket, a pet crow that I rescued from a bush. (I also had a pet turtle for a day, but that’s another story.)

  2. I’ve been to the top of a 40’ sailboat mast; floated down the Mekong River in a raft; and been pushed from an airplane (with a parachute on - I couldn’t jump…)

  3. I’ve found a five leaf clover.
